דַּע שֶׁיֵּשׁ הַמְתָּקָה לְהִנָּצֵל מֵעֹנֶשׁ שֶׁל אַלְמָן, שֶׁלֹּא תָּמוּת אִשְׁתּוֹ, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, וְהוּא, עַל יְדֵי שֶׁמַּרְגִּישִׁין טַעַם מְתִיקוּת בְּהַתּוֹרָה, עַל יְדֵי זֶה נִצּוֹלִין מִזֶּה הָעֹנֶשׁ, לִבְלִי לִהְיוֹת אַלְמָן, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Know! there is a “sweetening” through which one is spared the punishment of widowhood; so that a person’s wife does not die, God forbid. This is accomplished by experiencing the taste of sweetness in the Torah. Through this, one is saved from this punishment, so that he does not become a widower, God forbid.

וְזֶה אוֹתִיּוֹת אַלְמָן – רָאשֵׁי־תֵּבוֹת: מַה נִּמְלְצוּ לְחִכִּי אִמְרָתֶךָ (תהלים קיט); שֶׁעַל יְדֵי שֶׁמַּרְגִּישִׁין מְתִיקוּת בְּהַתּוֹרָה נִצּוֹלִין מֵהָעֹנֶשׁ הַזֶּה,

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This is [alluded to in] the letters of *ALMaN* (widower)—an acronym of “*Mah Nimletzu L’chiki Imratekha* (How sweet to my palate are Your words)” (Psalms 119:103). By experiencing sweetness in the Torah, one is spared this punishment.

וְגַם הַכָּתוּב מְסַיֵּם: מִדְּבַשׁ לְפִי – שֶׁעַל יְדֵי זֶה הַמְּתִיקוּת שֶׁמַּרְגִּישִׁין בְּהַתּוֹרָה מַמְתִּיקִין הַדִּין שֶׁל מִיתַת אִשְׁתּוֹ, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, כִּי דְּבַשׁ בְּגִימַטְרִיָּא אִשָּׁה כַּמּוּבָא בַּכְּתָבִים:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Likewise, the verse concludes: “… more than honey to my lips.” As a result of the sweetness that one experiences in the Torah, one “sweetens” the judgment of his wife’s death, God forbid. For *DVaSh* (honey) is numerically equivalent to *IShaH* (woman), as is brought in the holy writings.
