The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Lazer Brody’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] Good evening from the south of Israel. This is Laser Brody with another one of lessons in Rabbi Nakman's Tales. After learning the story of the exchanged sons, we did that in two parts. Tonight's lesson is entitled uh the battle for the heart. We're going to interpret the the lesson's imagery the best way we could possibly understand. And this is amazing divine direction because Rabbi Nakman's interpretation brought them with several of interpreters. One particular uh scholar of this past generation, Rabbi Adinstein of blessed memory uh he interpreted the story and he did it much in the way in the way of Kabala but much on amuna and my own interpretation is always by way of amuna. I look at everything by way of amuna because Rabbi Aman's Torah was the Torah of Amuna. When Rabbi Nman says my fire will burn until the coming of Mashia, what is his fire? His fire the fire of Amuna that he teaches us. uh Rabbi Steinels he was a fantastic tomudic scholar he wrote translated the whole tomally in spoke in easy Hebrew that uh the Hebrew speakers they could understand it uh with that because the most to in Aramaic it's very decryptic very difficult to understand but not only that he was an offthecharts cabalist he's very bravely kabala so we're synthesizing uh the interpretations Rabbi Kramer who's one of the best greatest breast lover scholars alive and what the Rabbi Haim forgot Rabbi Nah's teachers I haven't yet learned so Rabbi Haim Kramer said this fantastic book that we depend on a lot his uh his 13 tales Rabbi
