A Day in the Life of a Yid

Hisbodedus

Take a dive into hisbodedus — the practice of speaking to Hashem in our own words, in our own way. From early sources in Chazal to the teachings of the Rambam, the Meiri, and the Chovos HaLevavos, and of course, the deep emphasis placed on it by Rebbe Nachman, we’ll explore what this form of personal tefillah can look like, why it matters, and how it shapes our inner world. Simple in form, but rich with possibility.
