Zaidie's Home

A main member of the reception committee that welcomed me home to beloved Israel yesterday was my 12-month-old grandson Nachman. He had a great time helping Zaidie (Yiddish for grandfather) unpack (see photo above).

This trip (29 Days) was the longest and most taxing trip we ever had. Within the USA alone, we had 16 different domestic flights. There's so much to share with you, but we'll do that a little at a time. Meanwhile, with Hashem's help, we're trying our best to catch up on a substantial backload of work.

There's certainly no place like home - especially if you live in Israel. Thank You, Hashem, and thanks to all our dear friends across the USA, the Ukraine, and in Israel who helped make this trip so meaningful. My special thanks to Breslev Israel's General Director Yosef Nechama and Breslev Israel's Program Director David Reckles who did such an awesome job with the planning and logistics, freeing me to concentrate on the spiritual side. Warmest regards also to our friends in NYC, Monsey, Chicago, Minneapolis, Memphis, Denver, Seattle, LA, Miami, Oklahoma City, Fort Sill, and Dallas.

The cherry on the cake was an unforgettable Shabbat in Uman, Ukraine with Rabbi Motta Frank, Rabbi Eliahu Godlevsky, Lipa Schmeltzer, Yosef Karduner, and other dear friends.

I made a special prayer on Rebbe Nachman's holy gravesite in Uman for all our Beams readers, asking for everything you need in material and spiritual abundance; I have no doubt that Hashem will certainly bestow His blessings upon you and yours.
