Sunday Special: From Brooklyn to Breslov and the Heartbeat of Jewish Faith with Rabbi Chaim Kramer
When Rabbi Chaim Kramer humorously likens his birthday to the infamous date of the Hiroshima bombing, it sets the stage for an episode filled with both lighthearted moments and deep spiritual insights. Our esteemed guest, a central figure in the Breslov Hasidic movement, takes us on his personal odyssey from a modern Orthodox upbringing in Brooklyn to the heart of Breslov philosophy. His tales weave through his early years, his transformative encounter with Rabbi Tzvi Aryeh Rosenfeld, to the leap of faith that saw him transition from electrician to influential Yeshiva teacher and founder of the Breslov Research Institute.
As Rabbi Kramer unfolds the fabric of his life, we traverse the realms of his time at the Mir Yeshiva, the annual pilgrimage to Uman, and the poignant topic of Holocaust remembrance. He shares the critical need for education on the tragedies that befell our community, stressing the importance of Holocaust awareness within the fabric of our Jewish identity. With a passionate discourse on Shabbos observance and its role in our spiritual journey, Rabbi Kramer calls upon us to reignite our connection to our heritage and divine love. This episode is more than just a reflection on history; it's a gateway to understanding the vibrant tapestry of Breslov Hasidism and its place in contemporary Jewish life.
