"The greatest act of compassion is to illuminate the world with the knowledge of G-d" -- Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. |

The Breslov Center was founded shortly after Rosh Hashanah 5758 (1997) by HaRav Elazar Mordechai Kenig, shlita, leader of the Breslov community of Tzefat, Israel. Its purpose is to organize classes on the teachings of Chassidic Master Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, as well as lectures, musical events and retreats in greater New York. There is a great need to reach out to the many spiritual seekers who have been exposed to Breslov teachings through books and the media, but have had little contact with Breslover Chassidim. Therefore, the Breslov Center was formed to coordinate educational programs, using qualified teachers from the broad spectrum of the Breslov community. Our aim is to bring Rebbe Nachman's wisdom and advice to Jewish men and women from all walks of life and levels of religious observance. Guest speakers have included Rabbi Chaim Kramer, director of the Breslov Research Institute, as well as Rabbi Noson Maimon, Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum, and Rabbi Ozer Bergman, all of Jerusalem; Rabbi Ephraim Kenig and Rabbi Yaakov Klein of Tzefat; and Rabbi Moshe Weinberger of Woodmere. Mrs. Rochel Silber of Far Rockaway taught women's classes at our spring Shabbaton in the Catskills and often speaks at women's events under our auspices. Although the Breslov Center is not a publishing society we work closely with Rabbi Chaim Kramer's Breslov Research Institute, publishers of more than 70 titles in six languages. BRI books and tapes are sold at our Manhattan location. For a complete list of classes currently being offered by the Breslov Center click here.
