Seventh Heaven: Celebrating Shabbat with Rebbe Nachman of Breslov by Moshe Mykoff (ISBN: 978-1683362883)

I've ordered The Empty Chair since it's cheaper on ThriftBooks versus Amazon, but I'm definitely planning on reading all of these. We spoke at length about mental health and fears of antisemitism this time around, and my rabbi was very enthusiastic about the books he talked about. I'm very much looking forward to hearing more chassidic thoughts - I'm endlessly fascinated by that movement, personally.

#ask #jumblr #long post #personal thoughts tag #my rabbi also seems to have a soft spot for chassidim too though neither of us are following that movement #it was really nice to just talk about this though... i appreciate that my rabbi validates my feelings about this #in many ways i assume my fear of antisemitism isn't something i have 'earned' and he met that with understanding #included the isbn because. i love it. and also i'm always paranoid that i SOMEHOW didn't give enough information to act on LOL
