וּכְשֶׁסִּפֵּר הַמַּעֲשֶׂה שֶׁל הַבַּעַל תְּפִלָּה (הַנִּדְפֶּסֶת בְּסִפּוּרֵי הַמַּעֲשִׂיּוֹת מַעֲשֶׂה יב), שָׁאַל אוֹתָנוּ אַחַר־כָּךְ: מִי סִפֵּר הַמַּעֲשֶׂה שֶׁהָיָה כָּתוּב בְּהַקְראוֹינִיקוּס (כְּרוֹנִיקוּת) שֶׁלָּהֶם מֵעִנְיַן הַכִּתּוֹת שֶׁנַּעֲשׂוּ בְּעֵת שֶׁהָיָה רוּחַ סְעָרָה בָּעוֹלָם וְכוּ'?

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
The twelfth story in *Sipurey Ma'asiot* is “The Master of Prayer.”²³⁸ #185). It came to be told after the Rebbe noticed that the coat of R' Yosef, the *chazan* of Breslov, was torn (ibid., #188). See “*His Wisdom*” #198; *Yemey Moharnat* #41. (In this story, a great whirlwind destroys a kingdom and leaves ten small groups in search of leaders.) After telling this story, the Rebbe asked us who told the story that was written in the chronicles of the kingdom about the groups formed as a result of this storm.

footnotes:
²³⁸ This story was told on a Saturday night, 1 Shevat 5570 (January 6, 1810) (Tzaddik

הֵשַׁבְנוּ לוֹ שֶׁזֶּה סִפֵּר אֶחָד מֵהַגִּבּוֹרִים שֶׁל הַגִּבּוֹר לְהַבַּעַל תְּפִלָּה (כַּמְבֹאָר שָׁם). וְנִעְנַע בְּרֹאשׁוֹ: שֶׁכֵּן הוּא.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
We answered that one of the mighty warriors of the Mighty Warrior told the tale of “The Master of Prayer.” The Rebbe nodded his head as if to say that we had it right.

וְהֵבַנּוּ מִדְּבָרָיו, שֶׁיֵּשׁ בָּזֶה מְכֻוָּן גָּדוֹל מְאֹד, מַה שֶּׁדַּיְקָא אֶחָד מֵהַגִּבּוֹרִים סִפֵּר זֹאת. וּמִזֶּה תִּלְמַד שֶׁבְּכָל דִּבּוּר וְדִבּוּר שֶׁל הַמַּעֲשִׂיּוֹת יֵשׁ מְכֻוָּן גָּדוֹל מְאֹד מְאֹד, מַה שֶּׁאֵין הַפֶּה יָכוֹל לְדַבֵּר וְהַלֵּב לַחֲשֹׁב.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
We understood from his message that it was significant that one of the warriors had told this [story]. We further understood that every word in these tales teaches a great lesson. The mouth cannot speak it, nor can the heart conceive it.
