"Netzachti V'enatzeach", the publishing division of the Yeshiva, publishes books of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, the light of lights and foundation of the world, and of his students, mainly the great, genius Reb Nosson of Breslov, may their merits protect us.
The books serve the following purposes: 1. To make well known the holy literature and lessons of the true Tzaddikim in the world. 2. Through this Chassidish literature, to draw close the hearts of Jews to their Father in Heaven. 3. To speed up the redemption of Israel quickly in our day. Amen.
3. In order to comply with the will of Rebbe Nachman who requested that his lessons be publicized, and the instruction of Reb Nosson who said "Your main purpose is to publish books of his (Rebbe Nachman's) lessons and spread them".
The benefits of sponsoring the printing of these books:
It is very beneficial to sponsor and give Tzedakah to this cause. This cause is higher than other forms of Tzedakah, like Reb Nosson wrote in Likutey Halachot: And therefore, through the charity given for these books mentioned, all the doubts will be destroyed at their roots and a wonderful, complete rectification of charity is made. Through this charity, we uproot the "metzach ha'nachash" completely so he will not have the power to cause doubts at all, like it says above. This is "Tzedkatcha tzedek l'olam" (your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness), that it will be an everlasting existence forever. This we accomplish through "v'Toratcha emet" (and your Torah is true), by giving charity for writing books and spreading them in the world to explain the words of the Torah and that the Torah is true. Through this, surely "Tzedkatcha tzedek l'olam" because this "tzedakah" (charity) is forever. The main rectification of charity is being greatly drawn by that, as mentioned above.
Therefore, the charity that we give for these books is more precious than anything because it's the main rectification of 'charity'. (Likutey Halachot, Birchat HaShachar 5)
Praiseworthy is the one who merits sponsoring the printing of holy books with pure intentions, for Heavenly purposes. Through all the charity we give, we take the souls and draw down Torah, the aspect of "the ancient and the satum Torah", as explained in the lesson above. All the moreso, when we give charity for the printing of holy books, the printing of the books themselves are the aspect of gathering the souls which are the letters and drawing down the Torah. For surely, praised is the lot of the one who merits the public, to enlighten all of Israel with holy and original ideas on the Torah. Through this we merit a watchful eye. Through this great abundance and blessing and all the best are drawn down. This is what the Shechina and Knesset Yisrael are asking from Hashem: "Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm." (Song of Songs 8:6) "Seals" is the aspect of printing books. This concept hints at Tefillin, as brought down that the Shechina and Knesset Yisrael are asking that many holy books are printed, which is the aspect of Tefillin, which is the aspect of "seals" (seals on your arm). Through the holy book that are being printed, all of Israel is being bound to Hashem like a seal. (Likutey Halachot, Even Ha'Ezer: Kiddushin 3)
For your knowledge
It is appropriate for us to point out that we do not receive any financial assistance from the government or public services, including the Office of Religious Affairs. Our purposes are holy: to establish the fallen Shechina, to be real, honest, innocent, and simple repenting Jews, and to draw near to the true Tzaddikim, like Rebbe Nachman commanded.
We are funded by simple Jews who support our Yeshiva and provide for the printing of the books from their own pockets.
Everything received is through awesome, divine intervention and we rely only on Hashem and not on flesh and blood, as King David writes in Tehillim, "do not put your trust in man that has no power to save".
The Books
The production began in 5762 (2002), with the release of "V'Tzaddik B'Emunato Yichyeh" (A righteous one, by his faith shall live). The book was released on the 27th of Adar, 5762 in honor of the celebration honoring the passing of the great Rabbi Chaim Sinoni, may his merits protect us.
"V'Tzaddik B'Emunato Yichyeh - åöãé÷ áàîåðúå éçéä"
"V'Tzaddik B'Emunato Yichyeh" is a book which discusses one of Rebbe Nachman's fundemental ideologies: the concept of the Tzaddik, the importance of drawing close to him, and the knowledge that only the Tzaddik can repair a person to perfection and bring them closer to Hashem.
"V'Tzaddik B'Emunato Yichyeh" is an exerpt from the book "Otzar Ha'yirah", the great anthology of Rabbi Nachman of Tcherin, student of Reb Nosson. "Otzar Ha'yirah" is a book consisting of direction for serving Hashem, divided according the alphabet. "V'Tzaddik B'Emunato Yichyeh" is the "Tzaddik" section of the "Otzar Ha'yirah". Due to the fact that the concept of the Tzaddik is such a great one by Rebbe Nachman, it has been singled out into it's own book so that it can be properly focused on and learned in depth.
The second section of the book consists of prayers and requests from "Likutey Tefillot" concerning meriting drawing close to the Tzaddik.
There is an additional section containing Mincha (afternoon prayer service), Maariv (evening prayer service), Birchat Ha'mazon (Grace after meals), Kriyat Shema Sh'al Ha'Mitah (the bedtime Shema) and Tikun HaKlali (the general remedy) with commentaries by Rebbe Nachman and his disciples.
"Ish Peleh - àéù ôìà"
The comprehensive Siddur (prayerbook) - Ish Peleh - consists the prayers arranged according to the Sephardic tradition with the comments of Rebbe Nachman and Reb Nosson explaining the intentions and devotions associated with the prayer so that it can be perfected.
It includes fantastic collections from the wisdom of Rebbe Nachman regarding the prayers and traditions and advice from Rebbe Nachman about the prayers. Each page is filled with inspiration and encouragement for praying and serving G-d by Rebbe Nachman and his students. It includes collected lessons pertaining to the prayers, his practices and advice. Each page is filled with inspiration regarding the prayer and service of G-d. Likewise, also listed are laws from Shulchan Aruch regarding the prayers.
The Siddur layout is nice and organized with clear Assyrian letters. It is best to pray from a Siddur with Assyrian lettering, as the Ben Ish Chai (Rav Chaim from Bavel), says "by this one merits that each letter will go up (to Heaven) in its literal shape... each one to its proper place, to its root, to accomplish and correct what it needs to... This is a tested and confirmed remedy... those who regulate themselves to praying from such a text, crush their foolish and extraneous thoughts which challenge the purity of their thought and devotion."
Furthermore, it includes vowelization and combined names of G-d. The Siddur has a beautiful design (see picture) and each commentary is on its appropriate page. This Siddur is a pleasure to pray from.
The Rosh Yeshiva, in his introduction to the Siddur, writes : "In this Siddur prayer is revealed in its full strenght and glory, just as we learn in Likutey Moharan 1: Know, that through Torah we receive all prayers. Therefore when a person learns about the prayers - by learning all its commentaries and explanations - they can rest assured that their prayer was accepted, as it says 'Tefillah L'Moshe, Ish Ha'Elokim' (a prayer by Moses, the man of G-d, Psalms 90:1). Prayer is connected with Moshe like it says in Likutey Moharan 2: Say to the Cohanim: Each person should bind themselves and their prayers with the Tzaddikim of the generation, because each Tzaddik in the generation is the concept of Moshe Rabbenu, Mashiach, etc. This binding is the greatest thing to do... to bring the prayer with commentary of the Tzaddik (Rebbe Nachman) and through binding to him and learning his commentaries, the Tzaddik will raise and place the prayer to the proper place just as each person brought something good they had to Moshe for the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and with these things, Moshe constructed the Mishkan.
What you'll find inside the Siddur
The Siddur begins with listing traditions and advice for praying and continues to explain different methods Tzaddikim used in their prayers. The morning section includes: acceptance of Hashem's absolute sovereignty by the great Rav Aharon Roth, zt'l, preparing for Mikveh immersion and advice and direction from Rebbe Nachman regarding Mikveh, prayers and preparations before immersion, preparations for the morning blessings, including pointers and laws regarding the blessings, the morning blessings with commentaries, Tikun Chatzot (remedy of dawn) with its devotions and commentaries, and the like regarding all subjects including, but not limited to Tzitzit (the fringes required on a four cornered garment), Tefillin, and so on. Also included is Tikun HaKlali with commentaries of Rebbe Nachman and his students, the commentary of Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, the most famous commentator on Tanach & Talmud) and the Arizal (see About Breslov). Pirkey Shira, the 613 commandments as listed by the Rambam divided into the days of the week in order to complete saying all the commandments in a weeks time. Laws, preparations, pointers, and prayers for the holy Shabbat. Shir HaShirim (the Song of Songs by King Solomon) with commentary of Rebbe Nachman and his students, by Rashi, and by the Arizal. Shabbat songs, preparations and prayers for the Shabbat meals including the ritual hand washing before breaking bread and grace after meals.

Also, Pirkei Avot (the tractate Avot, literally 'fathers' from the Tamud) with commentaries of Rebbe Nachman, his students, Rav Ovadia from Bartenura, and the Arizal, and the book of Tehillim. The Siddur is comprehensive and contains all that a Jew should do daily; a Siddur which embodies the concept of real G-dly service.
From each page of the Siddur you learn from Rebbe Nachman, you pray from him, you feel him, breath him, live him and love him...before sleep, upon awakening, before praying, while praying, afterwards, during the day, before and after eating...the whole day is with Rebbe Nachman. This is how it should be. This is how it has been passed down from generation to generation dating back to Reb Nosson. We have to live and breath the greatest of the greats, the beautiful one, the height of holiness, the Tzaddik who is the foundation of the world - the "flowing brook, a fountain of wisdom", our master, teacher, and Rebbe of the world, our lifes blood, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, may his merits protect us. In his hands lie the enormous power to revive, encourage, and renew us. He takes our souls, brushes them up, purifies them, and shines them to perfection like they were before the creation. He restores the fallen, scattered sparks and returns them to their roots. Through this he rectifies our souls in such a way that there was never like it before. He takes us and truly connects us to the truth - to the Holy One, may He be blessed, and to the Shechina (divine presence).

Chok Natan was compiled under the direct guidance of Rabbenu, the Rosh Yeshiva.
Chok Natan is a comprehensive book encompassing all main Breslov works divided into daily lessons and designed to be covered over the course of a year.
It includes 11 Breslov works, the Orach Chaim section of Shulchan Aruch (Code of Laws) and during a leap year, two additional books.
If one sticks to the daily schedule, in a year they cover the following works:
- Likutey Moharan (Collection of Rebbe Nachman's lessons)
- Likutey Tanina

- Sipurey Ma'asiot (Rebbe Nachman's Stories)

The Orach Chaim section of Shulchan Aruch, is appropriate and customary for every Jew to learn.
During a leap year, "Hishtapchut HaNefesh" (Outpouring of the Soul) and "Meshivat Nefesh" (Restore My Soul) are added.
Our Rebbe, the Rosh Yeshiva, wanted to publish this book years ago. We contacted several publishing houses and for various reasons, the project did not come to fruitition. After some time, the Yeshiva retook upon itself the project and through Hashem's mercy fulfilled the will of the Tzaddik and we merited publishing the book in 5763 (2003).
The book is exceptionally laid out, divided in an organized fashion, and is easy on the eyes. As a combination of 14 main Breslov works in one, it serves as a convenient companion for every Jew. One can always have these works with him: Rebbe Nachman's lessons, Reb Nosson's prayers, Shulchan Aruch. These are works that every Jew should have easy access to, especially a Breslover Chassid. As the exalted, saintly Reb Nosson said in his will: "compell yourself very strongly to learn the works of Rebbe Nachman every day...whether a little, or a lot regarding all different facets... A day should not pass without learning from Rebbe Nachman's works and from Shulchan Aruch. And, Hashem should help you add and learn even more".
If you learn the ascribed 5 pages a day - which take 15-20 minutes alone - you finish everything in one year! It's amazing!!
