The deepest exile isn’t physical — it begins inside the mind. When emunah weakens, our thoughts scatter, anxiety grows, and we slip into a quiet galut where nothing feels possible. Return to emunah, and the mind comes home. Clarity returns. Strength returns. Because the opposite of galut isn’t geography — it’s faith.

The Silent Exile No One Talks About
In the darkest place on earth, a Jewish prisoner looked straight at a Nazi guard and said, “If you shoot me, you’re only doing Hashem’s will.” The guard lowered his gun. Because even there—in that nightmare—Hashem was the only One acting. Every moment, every person, every event… is Him alone. That’s what "ein od milvado" means.

What If Darkness Is Not Your Enemy? | Whispers from the Tzaddik's Heart
The serpent didn’t just deceive Chavah — he joined with her. Rebbe Nachman teaches (Likutei Moharan 7:3) that the snake’s “advice” was not mere persuasion but a spiritual seed, planted in the human soul. From that moment, truth became mixed with doubt, and the human mind began its exile. In this shiur, Rav Hoshea Allen reveals how this ancient act — the seed of the serpent — still shapes our thinking today, and how the Torah’s 613 eitin d’kedushah at Har Sinai reversed the infection. A deep journey through Rashi, Zohar, and Agra d’Kallah — and the secret of how holy counsel purifies the heart. 00:00 Introduction 03:44 Orientation 05:16 Serpent Seduction 16:14 Rebbe Nachman's Chiddush 20:25 Secrets and Meaning of P'shat 26:51 What Was the Deception? 👉 Subscribe for more Torah on truth, da’at, and inner repair: https://www.youtube.com/@TheShoemakerReport?sub_confirmation=1 #SeedOfTheSerpent #RebbeNachman #LikuteiMoharan #Breslov #Chavah #Nachash #GanEden #Zohar #Rashi #Torah #Kabbalah #Daas #Etzah #TruthAndEmunah #HosheaAllen #ShoemakerReport #HarSinai #613Eitzos #TikkunHaDaas #MysticalJudaism #JewishWisdom

Rebbe Nachman teaches that everything depends on awareness. Ever get stuck in a moment that pushes every button you’ve got? The test isn’t the chaos—it’s whether you remember da’at right there, in the heat of it. If you hold onto "Ein Od Milvado"—that there’s truly nothing but Hashem—then even irritation becomes revelation. The next time life presses hard, pause and know Who’s really behind it. That’s where peace begins.

One Thought That Can End Your Anger — Ein Od Milvado
When you see a Jew acting wrongly, what are you seeing? You're not seeing who he truly is—you’re seeing the klipot that have attached themselves to him. Beneath the confusion and struggle, his soul is pure, burning with hidden light. Rebbe Nachman teaches that every Jew is, at the root, only good. The work is to look past the grime—both in others and in ourselves—and remember who we really are.

Beyond the Bad and the Ugly — It's All Good
What does truth [emet] have to do with faith [emunah]? Rebbe Nachman reveals that emet and emunah are not two separate forces—but a single living union. Truth ripens into faith through the heart of the tzaddik, passing from the mochin (mind) into the kidneys that “give counsel,” through the covenant of yesod, and finally taking root as emunah —living faith—in the heart of the receiver. In this deep workshop on Likutei Moharan 7:2–3, Rav Hoshea Allen unpacks how emet descends through the spiritual anatomy of man: from wisdom to counsel, from seed to covenant, from word to heart. Discover how the advice of the tzaddik becomes “zera emet”—the seed of truth—that gives birth to faith within us, and how wrong counsel, by contrast, creates false unions of the kelipah. Join us for this journey through the Zohar, Tehillim, Gemara, and Likutei Halachot where truth and faith meet like husband and wife. 00:00 Introduction 01:49 Faith Through Truth 08:57 Unity of Faith and Truth 14:34 Sharpening the Intellect 19:45 How Truth is Transmitted 27:10 The Advice of the Kidneys 37:06 True Seed 45:33 False Seed 48:42 Summary: Spiritual Circuitry I’m Rav Hoshea Allen, and this is The Shoemaker Report. 🎧 Watch the full shiur now and subscribe for weekly teachings: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@TheShoemakerReport?sub_confirmation=1 #TheShoemakerReport #RavHosheaAllen #RebbeNachman #LikuteiMoharan #Emet #Emunah #TruthAndFaith #Breslov #Tzaddik #TorahShiur #Faith #Truth #ZeraEmet #ShoemakerWorkshop #JewishWisdom
What Does Truth Have to Do with Faith? | Secrets Revealed by Rebbe Nachman
We don’t usually think of complaining as a spiritual issue. But every complaint quietly says: “Hashem, I don’t believe You’re running my life perfectly.” That’s why complaining and emunah can never coexist. The moment we stop resisting reality and start trusting Hashem’s orchestration, peace returns—and blessing flows again.

The Hidden Connection Between Complaining and Emunah
Many people want to do hitbodedut—to talk to Hashem in solitude—but they can’t bear the feeling of being alone. Beneath that struggle often lies the fear of abandonment, rooted in yesod. It’s the part of the soul that yearns for connection, but when wounded, it turns that yearning into panic. Learning to face this fear is the first step toward real devekut—and toward discovering that you were never truly alone. I’m Rav Hoshea Allen, and you’ve been watching The Shoemaker Minute.

The Fear That Blocks Hitbodedut
When will Mashiach come? The answer has already been revealed. Rebbe Nachman of Breslov taught that the moment we stop covering up miracles with the language of “nature,” Mashiach will come. In this shiur, Rav Hoshea Allen reveals how this concealment of miracles is the essence of galut—exile—and how emunah, living faith, is the only true rectification which will bring Mashiach. When people explain away every wonder through logic and science, they hide Hashem’s constant renewal of creation. But when we begin to see the miraculous within the ordinary, the coverings of nature fall away, and the world becomes transparent to Divine light. 🔗 Subscribe for weekly Torah shiurim and insights 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@TheShoemakerReport?sub_confirmation=1 #TheShoemakerReport #Mashiach #JewishWisdom #TorahShiur #Emunah #Geulah #Breslov #RebbeNachman #HiddenMiracles #FaithAndScience #Bitachon #JewishMysticism #TorahInsights #RavHosheaAllen

Have you ever wondered why being insulted can sting so deeply? Rebbe Nachman teaches that when we receive bizyonot—and we accept them with love—we reach the highest form of teshuvah. Because before Heaven, both honor and humiliation are sent by Hashem for our good. Every insult is a mirror of love, a hidden hand polishing the soul. In this Shoemaker Minute, we explore how true repentance begins not when we’re praised, but when we stay silent and soft-hearted under shame.

Some fears hide behind confidence. Others hide behind humility. In Tiferet, fear takes the form of perfectionism—the pedestal complex. We get put “above” others, and fear being seen as flawed. In Hod, fear hides behind performance—the spotlight complex. We fear being put in the spotlight preferring instead to hide away. Both are illusions of control that keep us from real growth. True beauty and humility begin when we stop performing and start becoming.

The Pedestal or the Spotlight: Which Fear Is Holding You Back?
Everyone talks about peace—but few understand its price. Aharon ha-Kohen, the master of 'Hod,' didn’t create peace by convincing people he was right. He made peace by disappearing. Through bitul—the nullification of ego—he became a vessel for Hashem’s light to flow without obstruction. Rebbe Nachman teaches that this is the secret power of Hod: when we stop needing to win, the Divine can finally work through us. The smaller the self, the greater the peace.

Have you ever wondered how prayer can bend the laws of nature? Rebbe Nachman teaches in Likutei Moharan 7 that exile begins when faith disappears — when the world forgets that every moment is still being created. Prayer, he says, isn’t just a request; it’s the act of stepping beyond nature itself, speaking to the One who renews reality every instant. In this shiur, Hoshea Allen explores: 🔥Why exile is really a crisis of faith 💧How faith becomes prayer, and prayer becomes the engine of miracles 🌍What Avraham’s doubt (“במה אדע”) set in motion 🕊️Why Eretz Yisrael is the only place where prayer truly rises 🔯🔥And how each of the twelve tribes embodies a different gate of tefillah — the twelve voices of redemption When we pray with faith, we don’t escape the world — we rewrite it.

Most people think champions are defined by victory—but the deepest victories happen inside. A true champion isn’t the one who never falls. It’s the one who keeps rising, no matter how many times they fall. Every setback becomes another step toward greatness. Rebbe Nachman taught: “If you believe you can destroy, believe you can repair.” The courage to begin again is the soul of all triumph. Keep walking. Keep rising. That’s how Heaven defines a champion.

The Secret of a True Champion | What Victory Really Means
Have you ever feared either winning or losing -- or even both? In the world of Netzach—the sefirah of endurance—these twin fears are illusions. True victory isn’t about outcomes at all. It’s about getting up again, persevering through doubt, and remembering that Hashem determines the result. The only real defeat is giving up. Netzach teaches us that faith and endurance are the greatest triumphs of all. I’m Hoshea Allen, and you’ve been watching The Shoemaker Minute.

When truth shatters illusion, can joy survive? Rebbe Nachman teaches that real simchah isn’t the denial of pain—it’s the courage to stay present when illusions fall away.

When the Truth Hurts — Can You Still Be Happy?
Most people chase fun—but fun is just a flicker, an illusion that fades as soon as it’s over. Simchah, real joy, is something else entirely. It’s the soul remembering its Source, finding itself in the presence of Hashem. True happiness isn’t about escape—it’s about connection. When you’re truly b’simchah, you’re found up there, close to the One Who made you. Stop settling for “fun.” Discover the eternal joy that never leaves.
