The Secret of Intercalation/Leap Years
from Breslov Therapy · host Meir Elkabas
The deep spiritual mechanics behind human challenges and divine intervention by connecting Rebbe Nachman’s teachings on the "running and returning" of the mind with the kabalistic mystery of calendar intercalation (Sod Ha'Ibur). When a person enthusiastically pursues godliness (symbolized by the sun), they eventually hit a spiritual barrier and bounce back into a state of confusion or lack of perception (symbolized by the moon). This sudden fallback scrambles the mind's cognitive faculties, multiplying them to form nine hidden chambers or vessels that filter the infinite divine light into our lives, allowing us to miraculously pass daily tests without understanding how. Historically, only the greatest sages—like Rabbi Akiva or Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai—could consciously perceive these chambers or master Sod Ha'Ibur, the mathematical and mystical process of adding a thirteenth month to align the 354-day lunar year with the 365-day solar year. This 11-day disparity represents a dark "twilight zone" of trapped holy sparks, and by intercalation, the sages spiritually extend the year like a pregnancy to give these lost sparks a second chance to be reborn and rectified. Ultimately, the discourse emphasizes that both our spiritual highs and frustrating setbacks are intentionally paired to create the necessary harmony and vessels for receiving divine light.This class is based on Likutey Moharan lesson 24.For more on this lesson: linktr.ee/breslovtherapy_lesson_24If you have been inspired by this class/lecture please share it with your friends.
