'''Breslov''' (also '''Bratslav''' and '''Breslev''') is a branch of [[Hasidic Judaism]] founded by [[Nachman of Breslov]] (1772&ndash;1810), a great-grandson of the [[Baal Shem Tov]], founder of Hasidism. Its adherents strive to develop an intense, joyous relationship with [[God in Judaism|God]] and receive guidance toward this goal from the teachings of Nachman.

The movement has had no central, living leader for the past 200 years, as Nachman did not designate a successor. As such, Breslov adherents are sometimes referred to as the "dead Hasidim" ({{langx|yi|text=טויטע חסידים|translit=toyte ḥasidim}}) since they have never had a formal [[Rebbe]] since Nachman's death. However, certain groups and communities{{examples needed|date=December 2024}} under the Breslov banner refer to their leaders as "Rebbe".

The movement weathered strong opposition from virtually all other Hasidic movements in [[Ukraine]] throughout the 19th century, yet, at the same time, experienced growth in numbers of followers from Ukraine, [[History of the Jews in Belarus|Belarus]], [[History of the Jews in Lithuania|Lithuania]], and [[History of the Jews in Poland|Poland]]. By [[World War I]], thousands of Breslov Hasidim lived in the region. After the [[October Revolution|Bolshevik Revolution]], communist persecution forced the Breslov Hasidic movement underground in Russia. Thousands of Breslov Hasidim were imprisoned or executed during [[Joseph Stalin]]'s [[Great Purge]] and later during the [[Nazi Germany|Nazi period]], both before and after Germany's [[Operation Barbarossa|invasion]] of [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|Soviet Russia]] in 1941. The movement was regenerated in the [[History of the Jews in the United Kingdom|United Kingdom]], the [[History of the Jews in the United States|United States]], and [[Israel]] by those who escaped the persecutions of Europe, with large numbers of [[Yemenite Jews]] and other [[Mizrahi Jews]] joining the sect.

==History==
[[File:Breslov Yeshiva.jpg|thumb|The Breslov Yeshiva and Synagogue in [[Mea Shearim]], [[Jerusalem]], established by [[Eliyahu Chaim Rosen]] in 1953]]

"Breslov" is the name used nowadays by Breslover followers for the town of [[Bratslav]], where Nachman lived for the last eight years of his life before moving to Uman where he died. Bratslav is located on the [[Southern Bug|Bug river]] in [[Ukraine]] (latitude 48.82 N., longitude 28.95 E.), midway between [[Tulchyn|Tulchin]] to the south and [[Nemyriv|Nemirov]] to the north—{{convert|9|mi|km|abbr=off}} from each. Bratslav should not be confused with [[Wrocław]], a city now located in Poland, called in German "Breslau", and also pronounced "Breslov" in Yiddish, which was a renowned Jewish center in its own right.<ref>See [[Jewish Theological Seminary of Breslau]], for example.</ref>

Prior to his arrival in Breslov in 1802, Nachman lived and taught in other towns in the Russian Empire, such as Ossatin, [[Medvedevka]] <!--any of [[:uk:Медведівка]] ? -->, [[Zlatopil, Novomyrhorod|Zlatopol]], and [[Odessa]]. But upon his arrival in Breslov, he declared, "Today, we have planted the name of the Breslover Hasidim. This name will never disappear because my followers will always be called after the town of Breslov."<ref>''Tzaddik'' #115.</ref>

Later, followers said the name of the town dovetailed with Nachman's teachings. He encouraged Jews to remove the barriers that stood between themselves and a closer relationship with God. They noted that the [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] letters of the word ''Breslov'' (ברסלב) can be re-arranged to spell ''lev basar'' (לב בשר —the "ס" and "ש" sounds are interchangeable), "a heart of flesh", echoing the prophecy in [[Book of Ezekiel|Ezekiel]] (36:26): "I [God] will take away your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." (For this reason, some adherents spell the name of the Hasidut, "Breslev", stressing the ''lev'' (heart).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.breslevcity.co.il/ |title=Welcome to Breslev Israel |access-date=2010-04-20 |publisher=breslev.co.il}}</ref> Contemporary Breslov teacher [[Shmuel Moshe Kramer]] of Jerusalem also noted that the [[gematria]] ("numerical value") of the [[Hebrew alphabet|Hebrew letters]] of ''Breslov'' (ברסלב) is 294, as is the Hebrew spelling of ''Nachman ben Faiga'' (נחמן בן פיגא) (Nachman son [of] Faiga), the names of Nachman and his mother.{{citation needed|date=April 2010}}

==Religious approach==
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Reb Elozer Kenig.jpg|thumb|Rabbi [[Elazar Mordechai Koenig]], leader of a large Breslover Hasidim community in [[Safed]].]] -->
[[Image:Yisrael Dov Odesser.jpg|left|thumb|[[Yisroel Ber Odesser]], a Breslover Hasid from [[Tiberias]] who inspired the [[Na Nach]] movement.]]

The Breslov approach places great emphasis on serving God through the sincerity of the heart, with much joy and living life as intensely as possible. Breslov's teachings particularly emphasize ''emunah'' (faith) and ''teshuvah'' (repentance) and that every Jew on any level of Divine service is required to yearn to return to God constantly, no matter how high or low they are situated on the spiritual echelon.

Breslover Hasidim see the study and fulfillment of Torah life as the means to a joyful existence, and their approach to worship is very personalized and emotional, with much clapping, singing, and dancing. Nachman said, "It is a great [[mitzvah]] [commandment or good deed] to always be happy".<ref>''Likkutei Moharan'' II, 24.</ref> In this same lesson, he notes that even leading intellectuals in the medical field will attest to depression and bitterness being the main cause of most mental and physical ailments.

Breslov teachings emphasize the importance of drawing people to the "true tzadik" as the key to rectifying the world, overcoming evil, and bringing people closer to God, according to Nachman and [[Nathan of Breslov]].<ref>''Likkutei Moharan'' II, 8, 66-67; ''Likkutei Halakhot, Shabbat'' 5:9-10; ibid., ''Hashkamat HaBoker'' 5:1-3; ibid., ''Tolayim'' 4:4; and many other places.</ref> In Breslov thought, the "true tzadik" is Nachman himself.

Nachman also emphasized [[List of Jewish prayers and blessings|Jewish prayer]]. Besides the regular daily [[Jewish services|services]] in the [[synagogue]], Nachman advised his followers to engage in ''[[hitbodedut]]'' (literally, "self-seclusion"),<ref>See ''Likkutei Moharan'' I, 52; II, 25, et al.</ref> on a daily basis. Nachman claimed that every true tzaddik attained his lofty spiritual level almost uniquely because of ''hitbodedut''.<ref>''Sichot HaRan'' #229.</ref> Nachman explained that ''hitbodedut'' is the loftiest form of Divine service and that it is virtually impossible to be a good Jew without this practice. During ''hitbodedut'', the individual pours out his thoughts and concerns to God in his mother tongue, as if talking to a close personal friend. The goal is to establish complete unification with God and a clearer understanding of one's personal motives and goals.

A sub-group of the Breslov sect, colloquially known as ''[[Na Nach]]s'', uses the ''[[Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman]]'' mantra, which is based on a permutation of the Hebrew letters of Nachman's name. This mantra was not used by Nachman himself but was taught in the 20th century by [[Yisroel Ber Odesser]]. The ''NaNach'' movement, however, is highly controversial within the wider Breslov community because it places less emphasis on learning traditional Jewish texts such as the [[Talmud]] and more emphasis on [[Ecstatic dance|ecstatic worship]].

Nachman always maintained that his high spiritual level was due to his own efforts and not to his famous lineage or any other circumstances of his birth. He repeatedly insisted that all Jews could reach the same level as he and disagreed with those who thought that the main reason for a Rebbe's greatness was the superior level of his soul.<ref>''Shevachei HaRan'' #26.</ref>

==The Rosh Hashana kibbutz==
{{Main|Rosh Hashana kibbutz}}
Another specifically Breslov practice is the annual [[Rosh Hashanah kibbutz]], a large gathering at the grave of Nachman in [[Uman, Ukraine]], on the [[Rosh Hashana|Jewish New Year]]. Nachman himself said:
{{Blockquote | My Rosh Hashana is greater than everything. I cannot understand how it is that if my followers really believe in me, they are not all scrupulous about being with me for Rosh Hashana. No one should be missing! Rosh Hashana is my whole mission.<ref>''Tzaddik'' #403.</ref>}}

During his lifetime, hundreds of followers spent the holiday with him; after his death, his closest disciple, [[Nathan of Breslov]], organized an annual pilgrimage to his grave, starting with Rosh Hashana 1811, the year after Nachman's death. Until World War I, thousands of Hasidim from [[Ukraine]], [[Belarus]], [[Lithuania]], and [[Poland]] joined the holiday prayer gathering. The Rosh Hashana kibbutz operated clandestinely, and on a smaller scale, under [[Communism]], when public prayer gatherings were forbidden. The pilgrimage was officially re-instituted after the fall of Communism in 1989, and continues to this day, with upwards of 70,000 men and boys arriving each Rosh Hashana from all over the world.

Breslovers also make individual pilgrimages to their Rebbe's grave at other times of the year. Visiting the grave at any time is deemed beneficial, because Nachman said:
{{Blockquote | Whoever comes to my gravesite and recites the Ten Psalms of the [[Tikkun HaKlali]] ("General Remedy"), and gives even as little as a penny to charity for my sake, then, no matter how serious his sins may be, I will do everything in my power—spanning the length and breadth of Creation—to cleanse and protect him. By his very [[payot]] ("sidecurls"), I will pull him out of Gehennom [purgatory]!<ref>''Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom'' #141.</ref>}}

==Important books==
The main Hasidic texts revered and studied by Breslover Hasidim are those written by Nachman and Nathan. All of Nachman's teachings were transcribed by Nathan. Additionally, Nathan wrote some of his own works.

Note that, at the same time, Breslovers do not restrict themselves to Nachman's commentaries on the Torah, but also study many of the classic texts, including the Tanakh, Talmud, Midrash, and many others. 
They may also study the [[Rabbinic literature#Hasidic thought|writings of Rebbes]] from other dynasties. 
In fact, Nachman claimed that while even a complete simpleton can become a pure and righteous Jew, the ideal study schedule of an extremely scholarly Hasid should include the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) with its commentaries, the entire Talmud with its commentaries, the entire [[Shulchan Aruch]] (code of law), all the Midrashic works, the Zohar and Tikkunei Zohar, the teachings of the [[Isaac Luria|Arizal]], and other [[Kabbalah|kabbalistic]] works, all over the course of a single year.<ref>''Sichot HaRan'' #76.</ref>
Today, many Breslov ''hasidim'' practice a daily review of the ''Shulchan Aruch''.<ref>[https://breslov.org/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-breslover-part-i-2/ "A Day In The Life Of A Breslover"; #11:''Shulchan Arukh''], breslov.org</ref>

Nachman's [[masterpiece|magnum opus]] is the two-volume ''Likutei Moharan'' (Collected [Lessons] of Our Teacher, Rabbi Nachman), a collection of 411 lessons displaying in-depth familiarity and understanding of the many overt and esoteric concepts embedded in [[Tanakh]], [[Talmud]], [[Midrash]], [[Zohar]], and [[Kabbalah]]. In the introductory section of certain editions of Likutei Moharan, the book is likened to the Zohar itself, and Nachman is likened to the ''Zohar''<nowiki/>'s supposed author, [[Shimon bar Yochai]]. This is based on the citation of numerous parallels between the lives of the two sages, as well as the fact that the names "Nachman ben Simcha" (Simcha being Nachman's father's name) and "Shimon ben Yochai" share the same [[gematria]] (numerical value) of 501.

Upon Nachman's instructions, Nathan collected all the practical teachings and advice contained in the ''Likutei Moharan'', and published them in:
*''[http://www.thisisbreslov.com/Likutey-Eytzot.html Likutei Eitzot]'' (Collected Advices)
*''[http://www.thisisbreslov.com/Kitzur-Likutey-Moharan.html Kitzur Likutei Moharan]'' (Abridged Likutei Moharan)

Nachman's other works include:
*''Sefer HaMiddot'' ([http://www.thisisbreslov.com/Book-of-Traits.html Book of Traits]) – a collection of aphorisms on various character traits; also published in English as ''The Aleph-Bet Book''
*''Sipurei Ma`asiyot'' (Story Tales) – 13 mystical parables, also published in English as ''Rabbi Nachman's Stories'', ''[http://www.thisisbreslov.com/The-thirteen-tales.html 13 Tales of Rabbi Nachman]'', ''Tales of Ancient Times''.
*''[http://www.thisisbreslov.com/Tikkun-HaKlali-Eng.html Tikkun HaKlali]'' (The General Remedy) – a specific order of 10 [[Psalms]] which remedies ''p'gam habrit kodesh'' (blemish to the sign of the holy Covenant, i. e., the organ of procreation), and all sins in general.

After Nachman's death, Nathan wrote down all the conversations, fragments of lessons, and interactions that he and others had had with Nachman. He published these in the following collections:

*''[http://www.thisisbreslov.com/Moharanat.html Shevachei HaRan]'' (Praises of the Rav Nachman) and ''[http://www.thisisbreslov.com/Shichot-Haran.html Sichot HaRan]'' (Conversations of the Rav Nachman) – published in English as ''Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom''
*''Chayei Moharan'' (Life of Our Teacher, Rabbi Nachman) – published in English as ''[http://www.thisisbreslov.com/The-life-of-Rabbi-Nachman.html The Life of Rabbi Nachman]''

Nathan also authored these commentaries and novellae:
*''Likutei Halachot'' (Collected Laws) – an 8-volume Hasidic commentary on ''Shulchan Aruch'' which shows the interrelationship between every [[halakha]] and Nachman's lessons in ''Likutei Moharan''.
*''Likutei Tefillot'' (Collected Prayers) – 210 direct and heart-felt prayers based on the concepts in ''Likutei Moharan''.
*''Yemei Moharanat'' (The Days of Our Teacher, Rabbi Nathan) – an autobiography
*''Alim LeTerufah'' (Leaves of Healing) – Nathan's collected letters
*''Shemot HaTzaddikim'' (Names of Tzaddikim) – a list of the [[tzadik|tzaddikim]] of Tanakh, Talmud, Midrash, Kabbalah, and Hasidut, and Geonim of Torah in general Nachman said about this that saying the names of the righteous in every generation is a great virtue and can change nature in favor of the one who said the names of the righteous.

Students of Nathan, their students, and their students' students added to Breslov literature, with further commentaries on Nachman's teachings, as well as original works. See for example {{slink|Nachman Goldstein#Publications}}.

Beginning in the 1970s, Breslov works in [[English language|English]] began to appear, most notably [[Aryeh Kaplan]]'s ''Gems of Rabbi Nachman''. The [[Breslov Research Institute]], founded in Jerusalem in 1979, publishes authoritative translations, commentaries, and general works on Breslov Hasidut in the major languages spoken by modern-day Jewish communities: English, Hebrew, Spanish, and Russian.

''The Breslov Siddur'', published in a 2014 hard-cover edition (828 pages in length), is one of the few Hasidic siddurim available in an English language translation (and contains the original text). Translated by Avraham Sutton and Chaim Kramer.<ref>[http://www.breslov.org/siddur-uman-updates/ Siddur & Umam Updates] {{ISBN|978-1928822-83-7}}</ref>

==Today==
[[File:The Kollel.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Breslov [[kollel]] in [[Bnei Brak]]]]
Today, Breslover communities exist in several locations in Israel, as well as in major cities around the world with large Jewish populations, including New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Montreal, and Lakewood Township, New Jersey. While there are no exact statistics, according to the Breslov Research Institute, the number of core adherents in Jerusalem and Bnei Brak amounts to several thousand families, and several tens in Safed.<ref>[http://www.breslov.org/aboutbreslov/quest2.html#4 Questions and Answers] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091010230334/http://www.breslov.org/aboutbreslov/quest2.html#4 |date=2009-10-10 }} Breslov Research Institute.</ref>

The original Jerusalem community was founded by emigres from [[Ukraine]] in the late 19th century, and was joined by descendants of the ''Yerushami Yishuv haYashan'' ([[Old Yishuv]] in Jerusalem) community. It is built around the Breslov Yeshiva in [[Mea Shearim]], founded by [[Eliyahu Chaim Rosen]] in 1953, which is referred to as the shul. It is affiliated with the [[Edah HaChareidis]], and led by [[Yaakov Meir Shechter]] and [[Shmuel Moshe Kramer]].{{citation needed|date=November 2010}}

===Outreach and growth===

The first large-scale Breslov [[Orthodox Judaism outreach|outreach]] activities were conducted by [[Levi Yitzchok Bender]], who attracted thousands of ''[[baal teshuva]]'' followers to the Breslov movement in the 1970s and 1980s.

Concurrently, [[Eliezer Shlomo Schick]] began publishing his nearly 1,000 pamphlets distilling the teachings of Nachman of Breslov, and disseminating them to a worldwide audience.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Hitbodedut for a New Age: Adaptation of Practices among the Followers of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav|first=Tomer|last=Persico|journal=[[Israel Studies Review]]|volume=29|issue=2|date=Winter 2014|pages=99–117|doi=10.3167/isr.2014.290207}}</ref> 
Schick founded the Heichal HaKodesh Breslov community &ndash; largely consisting of ''baalei teshuvah'' &ndash; in the Galilee town of [[Yavne'el]], Israel, in 1985. As of 2015, that community had nearly 400 families, representing 30 percent of the town's population.<ref>"Harav Eliezer Shlomo Shick, zt"l, of Yavne'el". ''[[Hamodia]]'', Israel news, February 12, 2015, p. 9.</ref>

[[Eliezer Berland]], [[rosh yeshiva]] of Yeshivas [[Shuvu Bonim]] in the [[Muslim Quarter (Jerusalem)|Muslim Quarter]] of the [[Old City (Jerusalem)|Old City]] of [[Jerusalem]], has also brought thousands of Jews from secular backgrounds closer to [[Orthodox Judaism]] and Breslov.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.shuvubonim.org/about.html |title=About the Yeshiva |year=2001 |access-date=2010-04-20 |publisher=shuvubonim.org}}</ref> One of Berland's students, [[Shalom Arush]], went on to found the [[Chut Shel Chessed Institutions]] in Jerusalem. Arush leads a group including [[Sephardic Jews|Sephardic]] followers of Breslov Hasidut, who mainly originated in the [[baal teshuva movement]].

[[Zvi Aryeh Rosenfeld]] introduced Breslov Hasidism to the United States from the 1960s. He also arranged for the first English translation of two key Breslov texts, Shivchei HaRan and Sichot HaRan.
''Heichal haKodesh'', the Breslov [[yeshiva]] in [[Williamsburg, Brooklyn|Williamsburg]],<ref>[https://breslevcity.co.il/%D7%94%D7%99%D7%9B%D7%9C_%D7%94%D7%A7%D7%95%D7%93%D7%A9_%D7%95%D7%95%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%90%D7%9E%D7%A1%D7%91%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%92/ היכל הקודש וויליאמסבורג], breslevcity.co.il</ref> was founded there by Eliezer Shlomo Schick.
In 1979, one year after Rosenfeld's death, his son-in-law, Chaim Kramer, established the [[Breslov Research Institute]] to continue the effort to publish Breslov teachings in English.

Other Breslov rabbis engaged in outreach include [[:he:ישראל יצחק בזנסון|Israel Isaac Besançon]], rabbi of the Shir Chadash community in Tel Aviv, and [[Shalom Sabag]]. The [[Na Nach]] group, which follows the teachings of [[Yisroel Ber Odesser]], conducts on-the-street outreach with its roving musical vans and dancers, and sidewalk distribution of Breslov texts.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.haaretz.co.il/hasen/spages/984972.html |last=Molner |first=Adam |title=Rolling with the Na Nachs, the most high-spirited and newest Hasidic sect |publisher=[[Haaretz]] |date=25 May 2008 |access-date=22 May 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100308135055/http://www.haaretz.co.il/hasen/spages/984972.html |archive-date=8 March 2010 }}</ref>
