How to Approach Hitbodedut | Rebbe Nachman's Treasure of Peace and Truth (7)
In this deeply practical shiur, Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David open a doorway into one of Rebbe Nachman’s most essential teachings: hitbodedut. Drawing from the sefer Eshpoch Lefanav Sichi and the teachings of Rebbe Nachman, Rav Shlomo reframes what it means to “talk to Hashem.” Not as something formal, structured, or intimidating, but as something raw, human, and deeply personal. What does it actually mean to speak “as you would to a close friend”? Why do so many people feel resistance to hisbodedut? And how can just 15 minutes a day begin to bring real clarity, calm, and connection, even in a chaotic world? ---------- For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com Join Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t CHAPTERS 00:00 Opening and Sponsor Acknowledgments 02:14 Purpose of Hisbodedus and Tranquility 07:27 Suggested 15-Minute Daily Practice 09:52 Pouring Out the Heart Like a Friend 16:41 Story of a Compassionate Friend in Tzfat 18:38 Challenges and Resistance to Daily Hisbodedus 24:01 Infinite Heart Talk vs. Structured Prayer 25:26 Keeping Deep Heart Secrets from the Untrusted 26:31 “Hashem Bored?” – The Prison Joke Analogy 27:34 Reb Noson on Small Details Before the Divine 30:34 Sitting Before Hashem: Pouring Out the Heart 32:56 Childlike Vulnerability in Hisbodedus 37:20 Yefaresh Sichaso: Interpreting the Inner Voice 41:57 Practical 15-Minute Hisbodedus Commitment 45:34 Outdoor Hisbodedus and Women’s Participation
