[music] [singing] [music] [singing] [music] >> Good evening from the south of Israel. This is Laser Brody with another one of our lessons in Rabbi Nachman's teachings. Tonight we're learning Rabbi Nachman's discourses 11 through 14. And Hashem what are we learning something Hashem what are we learning something very important in life to know that when a person desires to get as close to Hashem, all of a sudden he or she's going to see barriers. It's not going to be easy. That they never had to deal with before. And often people ask me I get this a lot of questions from Noahides. They said Rabbi before I used to have a a fun life and I I discovered spirituality when I got close to Hashem. Ever since I became a Noahide, started keeping the Torah and keeping the the Noahide mitzvot, all of a sudden my life is really terrible and all these real difficult. People that's part of real difficult. People that's part of the turf. And people that come back they newly observing Jews same thing. Same thing. You know, an example, classic example, we had a wonderful uh immigrant from Russia who was an electrician, Yohanan, and in the Ukraine he was a motorcycle racer. And he was exempt from the army because on motorcycle accidents he broke every bone in his body. But he was still he's a kind of a a playboy and a motorcyclist. He came to land of Israel and he made shuvah.
