Yehudis in her own words: When I first began learning Rebbe Nachman’s teachings with my husband and other teachers, I felt as though I had come home to the personal and vital relationship with G-d that I’d always sought. Today, a large part of my inspiration comes from helping other Jewish women discover their own spiritual potential through the meaningful teachings of Breslov Chassidut.
In this special course for women, Breslov Every Day, Rebbetzin Yehudis Golshevsky will discuss Rabbi Yitzchok Breiter’s (1876-1943) short book, Seder Yom (A Day In The Life Of A Breslover Chassid, BRI English Translation.) Rabbi Breiter was a respected Hasidic leader in the Warsaw Ghetto, and a Breslover who made Rebbe Nachman’s teachings a practical reality. You’ll learn this classic work with particular attention to the aspects of Divine service that speak to our lives as women.
Topics include:

In Cheshvan, when “our lips are still merachshevan (fluttering) from the tefillos of the yomim noraim” it’s good to renew our connection to prayer. Last semester’s course on the prayers for the Yomim Tovim are now followed by this special course on our daily prayers, just for women, with Yehudis Golshevsky.
How can we bring more to our tefillot of Shacharit, Minchah, and Maariv? Using Likutey Moharan as our guide, this course will help you uncover the deeper meanings of prayer and encourage you to invest more energy into davening from your siddur.
Topics include:
The order of the prayers and encountering Hashem.
Preparation for prayer: finding focus and expressing the truth, and simplicity.
The Four Worlds of Shacharit: Asiyah–Korbanot and Berachot
Yetzirah: Pesukei d’Zimra
Beriyah: Shma and its blessings
Atzilus: Shemona Esrei
Tefillah b’tzibbur
Mincha and MaarivThere is a cyclical rhythm to the Days of Awe and the prayer services reflect this. Breslov texts (Likutey Moharan Likutey Halachot, and Sippurey Maasiot) offer us enriching insights into the deep meaning of the prayers we’ll be saying. Join Yehudis Golshevsky as she discusses how to maximize the High Holy Days.
Topics include:
Selichot and 13 Middot (Divine Forgiveness)– Love is always having to say you’re sorry!
Thirteen Attributes (Mercy)—A Deeper Look
Malchuyot (Majesty)—The Humble King
Ushpizin (Supernal Guests)—The Seven BeggarsLamentations says of the destruction of the Holy Temple, “Beetza emrato”, “He executed His word.” These stark words can also be read as “He tore His royal robe.” In this class about the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash in Likutey Moharan, Lesson 219, Rebbe Nachman shows us how the degree of Godliness revealed to a person is commensurate with the degree of humility he has attained.
