THE ALEPH-BET BOOK
Rabbi Nachman's Aphorisms on Jewish Living

TETH

NATURE
WANDERING
PURITY

TEVA
NATURE

B

1)
A person's physical health, [the length of] his life and his nature are all patterned after those of his father and mother.

2)
An abnormally hairy person is susceptible to much harm and misfortune at the hand of the Other Side. A segulah [for protection] is for him to recite the Torah section read on Yom Kippur (Leviticus, chap. 16).

TILTUL
WANDERING

B

1)
A person's wandering from place to place earns him a good name.

2)
Generally speaking, the livelihood of God-fearing people comes as a result of their wandering and moving from place to place.

3)
There are times when a Tzaddik must wander from place to place so that he can later recall all these places when he enters the World to Come; thereby bringing them prosperity.

4)
Not all places are conducive for studying Torah and performing good deeds. Because of this, God brings about circumstances which cause a person to leave one's place and go elsewhere.

5)
There are times when a person's sins require that he be punished with some form of exile, but instead [of wandering from place to place] he is beset by illness.

TAHARAH
PURITY

B

1)
A woman's righteousness purifies her house from leprosy.
