The Fiftieth Gate - Likutey Tefilot (Vol. 4)

Rebbe Nachman of Breslov emphasized prayer as the main way to become connected with God, teaching that we should speak to Him about all aspects of our lives, spiritual and material, supplementing the set prayer servics with our own individual prayers. Likutey Tefilot is a collection of the prayers of Reb Noson, who was Rabbi Nachman's leading disciple. Our sages teach us that the highest level of knowledge of God - known as the Fiftieth Gate - is beyond the grasp of the human intellect, but can be apprehended distantly through prayer. Reb Noson once remarked that his prayers were drawn from the Fiftieth Gate.(Prayers 67-110)

Translated by Yaacov Dovid Shulman (Vol. 4)

There are times when we yearn to communicate with God but don't know what to say. We can find ourselves in the expressive and eloquent prayers of Reb Noson, which are based on the enduring lessons in Rebbe Nachman's Likutey Moharan. Unique in Jewish spiritual literature, Likutey Tefilot includes prayers and supplications on every topic, suiting all moods and needs. Volume 1 includes a full introduction to the concept of prayer and its centrality in Jewish life. The prayers are printed with Reb Noson's original Hebrew facing the English translation.
