Suffering — Do You Know How to Respond? | LM Torah 4 · R' Jonathan Rietti (Shiur 8)

Shiur #8 in R' Jonathan Rietti's b'iyun series on Rebbe Nachman's Likutey Moharan, Torah 4 (Part 1) — Breslov, New Hempstead, with BRI and Reb Chaim Kramer. If yissurin are simply part of living in this world — the potholes and bumps no one escapes — then the real question was never how much we get, but how well we respond. This week R' Rietti opens the "Hilchos Yissurin," the laws of receiving suffering: how a person moves from an intellectual "it's for the good" to keshe'adam yodea — actually experiencing that everything, the sweet and the bitter alike, is only l'tovaso, with no gray and no wiggle room. In this shiur: "Hilchos Yissurin" — where the laws of accepting suffering actually live (in Shas, in the Rambam, and beyond Shulchan Aruch) Chayav adam levarech al hara k'shem she'mevarech al hatova — the Mishnah in Brachos (9:5) and blessing the bad like the good Ahavas Hashem b'chol levavcha — serving Him with both the yetzer tov and the yetzer hara The real hishtadlus is tefillah — asking Hashem that everything, good and hard, become a platform to find Him Todah la'Hashem for the good, and todah la'Hashem for the not-good — emunah as a daily exercise The Rambam's words: even in eis hamari, in ka'as and rogez — and why anger, gaava, sinah, kinah and taavah are the yetzer hara of the mind #LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #JonathanRietti #Torah4 #Yissurim #Emunah #Bitachon #ThankYouHashem #Suffering #ChaimKramer #BRI
