Yytz
I know this may come as a shock but my comments do not come from a lack of appreciation for Breslov . I have numerous connections to Breslov Torah and a couple of Chashuv talmedei chachumim ( yes for those who don’t know, there are plenty of real chassidim who don’t appreciate the crazies)
The older I get the more I realize that running after the current “Jewish” craze of the masses is detrimental.
Be it wearing red strings around your wrist, doing the latest segulah craze or running to Uman. Personally I find that usually what the masses are running to is something that under the layers of “kedusha “ is really something fun or “easy”. Easier then developing a real sensitive connection to the RBSO.
In either case I can have philosophical questions. And I’m still waiting for an answer to mine. Did Rav Nachman actually say that it would be beneficial to leave EY to come to his kever? Did he even say just come to my kever for RH?
