Sayings of Rabbi Nachman
  • It is a great Mitzvah to be Joyous Always!
  • Know!, all the world is just a narrow bridge.

  • and the most important thing is not to be afraid!
  • In reality, despair does not exist!
  • Talking to G-d in your own language and way is a very high level!
  • Even in the lowest pit of hell, one can be close to G-d!
  • People who talk during prayers show they have no real faith in G-d!
  • If you believe you can destroy then believe you can build!
  • Gevald! (=Oh my goodness) Do not despair!
  • Everyone must study a Bible Teaching daily, without fail!
  • G-d is always good!
  • G-d thirsts for you to talk to him!

    Mission

    This webpage chronicles the events of the Pittsburgh Breslov Connection, local chapter of the North American network of Breslov Connection sites.  The name "The Breslov Connection" implies the very minimal goal of facilitating people to set up Breslov chavrusas and becoming aware of other Breslovers and authentic Breslover Resources.  There is much more we could do with this concept and with HaShem's help we will respond as the enthusiasm of our Pittsburgh group grows.
