    Parnassa? Everyone is always looking for ways to get it or enhance it. Parnassa is a complicated matter with many factors involved. Below a list of 20 factors affecting parnassa compiled from “Sefer HaMidos” by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. If you are really interested in parnassa the list is worth going through carefully!

    1. Lack of trust in Hashem vs. Trust in Hashem

    2. Cruel to others vs. Compassionate

    3. Lewdness vs. Shmiras HaBris

    4. Alcohol vs. Spiritual awareness

    5. Disdain of Torah vs. Respect of Torah

    6. Foul Speech vs. Clean speech

    7. Desecrating the Sabbath vs. Honoring the Sabbath

    8. Failing to repent for old sins vs. Tshuva

    9. Sadness and depression vs. Happiness

    10. Ingratitude, especially to Hashem vs. Gratitude and prayer

    11. Stinginess vs. Charity, especially a full tithe

    12. Idol worship, blasphemy vs. Strengthening faith in Hashem

    13. Immodesty vs. Modesty

    14. Anger vs. Patience

    15. Judging others severely vs. Judging others fairly

    16. Dishonesty vs. Integrity

    Not sure what you mean by “factors affecting parnassa”? Do you mean that depending on which side of the “vs.” you fall on for each of these things affects the parnassa God grants you? You you mean that the act of earning a parnassa will affect which side of the “vs.” you fall out on?

    Please explain.

    It means that Hishtadlus in parnassah doesn’t mean you will have parnassah. It. Means that there are other factors at play that can affect your parnassa. Which could in some cases explain why some people are highly educated with advanced degrees and out of a job and accepting welfare. (Your Hishtadlus in Parnassah is the smallest factor in procuring a parnassah for your family)

    Clearer now?

    it is also a segulah to be generous with others-Hashem will be generous with you.

    also to be makpid on ma’aser and honest money.

    I’m very unimpressed with Nahman Hassidim. They usually are a source of great hillul hashem, and traffic.

    There are Breslov Chassidim and Nanachs. Breslov chassidim by and large are Ehrliche yidden. Nanachs by and large are crazy drug addicts and criminals and made up a religion called Nanach that has NOTHING to do with true Breslov, has nothing to do with true Chassidus, and has nothing really to do with Judaism. They are unfortunately dirtying the name of the holy Rabbi Nachman Mibreslov who was a Tzaddik yesod Olam.

    mewho:

    To “bump” is to write an arbitrary or unnecessary comment on an old thread (usually just the word “bump”) in order to “bump” it up to “recent posts” so people will read it and revive the discussion.
