Class Trip with Rebbe Nachman #12: Endless Desire in a Prophetic Darkness (SH # 12,13,14)
In this shiur on Sichos HaRan #11, #12, and #13, we discuss the preciousness of holy desire in and of itself and the manner in which the ups and downs of an authentic relationship with Hashem are considered like karbanos. We learn about the choice we have to experience darkness as "folly" or "prophecy" and what it means for "precious words to emerge from confusion". Finally, we talk about the deep internal distinction between a Jew and the rest of existence as well as Eretz Yisrael and the rest of the lands. At the very end, we discuss the great joy of Lag Ba'Omer and what Rebbe Shimon meant when he promised the Torah would never be forgotten.

Class Trip with Rebbe Nachman #5: From "Unmoved Mover" to a Reciprocal Relationship (SH #3-5.1)
In this shiur on Sichos HaRan #4&5, we explore two seemingly contradictory teachings from Rebbe Nachman on the impact of wealth on one's avodas Hashem, and present two possible resolutions. In addition, we begin our study of Sichos HaRan 5, laying the foundation of understanding Rebbe Nachman's aversion to works of philosophical speculation, rooted in his rejection of an impersonal "Unmoved Mover" and embrace of the more Kabbalistically-oriented reciprocal relationship with our Father in heaven Who is at stake in our every movement.
