פַּעַם אַחַת אָמַר לִי רַבֵּנוּ ז"ל: שֶׁהַיּוֹם נִרְאָה לוֹ מַלְאָךְ חָדָשׁ וְיוֹדֵעַ שְׁמוֹ, וְיֵשׁ תַּחְתָּיו מְמֻנִּים וְיֵשׁ לָהֶם שׁוֹפָרוֹת בְּיָדָם.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
I once heard the following from the Rebbe.²⁸⁸ II, 88. See *Likutey Halakhot, Birkat HaPerot* 5; *Alim LeTerufah* #64. I saw a new angel today. I know his name and his deputies. These angels are all holding shofars.

²⁸⁸ This is also cited in Likutey Moharan


###### Sichot HaRan 180:2
[Sichot HaRan 180:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/180:2)

וְהֵם תּוֹקְעִין תְּקִיעָה, וְאַחַר כָּךְ תְּרוּעָה, וְאַחַר כָּךְ חוֹזְרִים וְתוֹקְעִים תְּקִיעָה.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
They first blow a long *tekiah*, then a staccato *teruah*, and finally another *tekiah*.


###### Sichot HaRan 180:3
[Sichot HaRan 180:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/180:3)

וְהֵם כֻּלָּם חוֹפְרִים וּמְבַקְּשִׁים אַחַר אֲבֵדוֹת.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
These angels seek out lost things.


###### Sichot HaRan 180:4
[Sichot HaRan 180:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/180:4)

כִּי יֵשׁ דְּבָרִים אֲבוּדִים הַרְבֵּה. וְזֶה בְּחִינַת "תַּאֲוַת רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵד" (תְּהִלִּים קיב) תר"ת – "יַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵדוּ" (תְּהִלִּים פג־יח).

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
Many things are lost. This is because of desire. It is written, “*Ta'avot resha'im toved* – The desire of the wicked shall be lost” (Psalms 112:10). The mnemonic for *Tekiah, teRuah, Tekiah* is *TRT.* The initial letters of the words in this verse are the same as the mnemonic: *Ta'avot* (*Tekiah*), *Resha'im*(*teRuah*), *Toved*(*Tekiah*).


###### Sichot HaRan 180:5
[Sichot HaRan 180:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/180:5)

וְלִפְעָמִים הַצַּדִּיק בְּעַצְמוֹ, שֶׁמְּחַפֵּשׂ אַחַר אֲבֵדוֹת, הוּא בְּעַצְמוֹ אֹבֵד לִפְעָמִים. וְזֶה בְּחִינַת "יֵשׁ צַדִּיק אוֹבֵד בְּצִדְקוֹ" (קֹהֶלֶת ז). וְאָז הַצַּדִּיק עוֹשֶׂה תְּשׁוּבָה עַל אוֹתוֹ הַחֵטְא שֶׁעַל יָדוֹ בָּאִין אֲבֵדוֹת.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
Even a tzaddik who searches after lost things is himself lost sometimes. Thus it is written, “There is a tzaddik who is lost through his righteousness” (Ecclesiastes 7:15). The tzaddik must then repent for the sin that was responsible for the loss.


###### Sichot HaRan 180:6
[Sichot HaRan 180:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/180:6)

וּבְוַדַּאי אֵין לְהַצַּדִּיק אוֹתוֹ הַחֵטְא מַמָּשׁ, רַק אֵיזֶה פְּגָם דַּק מִן הַדַּק מֵאוֹתוֹ הַחֵטְא, וַאֲזַי כְּשֶׁעוֹשֶׂה תְּשׁוּבָה שְׁלֵמָה עַל אוֹתוֹ הַפְּגָם הַדַּק שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ מֵאוֹתוֹ הַחֵטְא, אֲזַי אַחַר־כָּךְ חוֹזֵר וּמוֹצֵא אֲבֵדוֹת נוֹרָאוֹת. וּכְשֶׁמּוֹצֵא נַעֲשֶׂה שִׂמְחָה וְרַעַשׁ גָּדוֹל.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
Although the sin was not actually committed by the tzaddik, he is still tainted by it. When he repents for that infinitesimal taint of sin, he is then able to recover awesome things that have been lost. When these are found, there is a great tumult and joy on high.


###### Sichot HaRan 180:7
[Sichot HaRan 180:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/180:7)

וְאָמַר אָז: שֶׁקָּשֶׁה מְאֹד מְאֹד לִהְיוֹת מְקַבֵּל.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
The Rebbe then said, “It is very difficult to receive alms.”


###### Sichot HaRan 180:8
[Sichot HaRan 180:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/180:8)

וּכְפִי הַנִּרְאֶה הוּא, שֶׁמְּקַבֵּל מַזִּיק וּפוֹגֵם בְּעִנְיַן הָאֲבֵדוֹת, שֶׁעַל יְדֵי זֶה בָּאִין אֲבֵדוֹת, כָּךְ נִרְאֶה לִי מִדְּבָרָיו, וְהַדְּבָרִים סְתוּמִים וְנִפְלָאִים וְנוֹרָאִים מְאֹד.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
It appears that a person who receives alms can do much damage and make it more difficult to recover lost things. He can also cause things to become lost. This is my understanding [of what the Rebbe meant]. The Rebbe’s words here are awesomely deep.


###### Sichot HaRan 180:9
[Sichot HaRan 180:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/180:9)

וְעַיֵּן מִזֶּה בְּסֵפֶר לִקּוּטֵי תִּנְיָנָא מֵעִנְיַן הַכַּוָּנוֹת אֱלוּל שֶׁמְּסֻגָּל לִפְגַם הַבְּרִית וּמֵעִנְיַן הַפֵּרוֹת שֶׁלֹּא נִתְבַּשְּׁלוּ, כִּי הַכֹּל אֶחָד עִם הַנַּ"ל.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
See what he writes in *Likutey Moharan* II, 87 and 88. There he states that the Kabbalistic concepts for the month of Elul are very helpful for the blemish of the covenant that results from sexual sins. It also speaks of the mystery of unripe fruit. All this is related to the above.


###### Sichot HaRan 180:10
[Sichot HaRan 180:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/180:10)

כָּךְ שָׁמַעְתִּי בְּפֵרוּשׁ מִפִּיו הַקָּדוֹשׁ וְאֵין אִתָּנוּ יוֹדֵעַ עַד מָה.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
I heard this explicitly from the Rebbe’s holy lips, and no one among us has begun to fathom its depth.
