Rav Nisan Kivak shlit"a: The Pursuers are Destroying Judaism and Bringing the Plague

The esteemed chassidic influencer, R' Nisan Dovid Kivak shlit"a, one of the prominent Breslov influencers in Jerusalem, joins the ranks of rabbis who one after the other are speaking out against those pursuers who are destroying 'Breslov' and Judaism as a whole.

These are the harsh words that Rav Kivak spoke against the pursuers of Rav Berland shlit"a

"Because of this, there is a plague, for they did not bring people to teshuvah (repentance), on the contrary, they brought them to teshuvah and they fall back because there is no place for them and furthermore they pursue them. They drive them crazy and disgrace them, and again drive them crazy."

"And the klipot (husks) remain that cannot be clarified, because they were not clarified, they fell again. In the last five or six years, several thousand have completely fallen, especially those who already came to our Rebbe, they fell completely because of these scoffers' actions, Hashem have mercy."

"When there is a place that does not illuminate to bring people to teshuvah, below they do not illuminate the awe. The work of clarifying the imagination, which is the main testament of the Rebbe, the emunah (faith) in the renewal of the world. If this is not done, they make a big deal out of some custom, which they did not receive from R' Levi Yitzchak and all the students."

"Pity on some young men who meet them later and laugh at how they confused our minds, they cause a stormy spirit in the world."

"R' Natan said: The main power of Amalek is the dispute against the tzaddikim. It does not mean that they dispute our Rebbe, but the light that the tzaddik reveals, they dispute the Torah explanations of the Rebbe, the power that the Rebbe can do for us."

"As R' Levi Yitzchak used to say, what does the Rebbe do for you, do you rise at midnight? That it is impossible to clarify, that so many souls have fallen, by the crazy disputers, whom everyone laughs at. It's all nonsense, but to confuse a weak person, to instill in him external fears to fear them."

"People who impose, they are enough for plagues and pestilence, God forbid, Hashem has His messengers, in the end, we too will return in teshuvah. This is the order of the world that there is always dispute, on the Baal Shem Tov and on our Rebbe, today the whole world is seeking our Rebbe, Baruch Hashem, ninety-nine percent are seeking our Rebbe, they have no place in Breslov, because a few crazies are driving everyone away, and separating every person from serving Hashem, they do not fulfill Torah A, they do not fulfill Torah B, no halacha of Likutey Halachot is fulfilled. What is fulfilled, some custom heard from a tape by a tape - there are people who heard R' Levi Yitzchak who spoke calmly in truth, and gave place to everyone."

"And the main existence of the light of our Rebbe is in derech eretz (respect) for one another. This is how the crazies speak that everyone laughs at them, no one is confused by their nonsense, but they speak of those who fall. It's a shame to talk about these foolish things, but everyone asks why there are troubles in the world, why is there all this dispute? So that there will be more klipot."

"The rectification is that we should not fear the pursuers. It is written that every plague comes from these klipot, every plague comes because it is impossible to clarify the awe. People fall into nerves and fears and confusions, darkness."

"These are the shames and disgraces that our Rebbe speaks of in the matzah shmura. And the awe of the opponents - today the main opponents are from within Breslov, everyone knows, today already the whole world is searching for our Rebbe, they want this matter."

"Look what happened to Korach, Korach fell from the incense, do not play with the incense. The incense is the power of the tzaddik in the aspect of Yosef who can rectify the foundation, so one must connect with the tzaddik - the trouble is that it is impossible to connect with the tzaddik, because they fear some crazy person, someone who did not receive from anyone, as is known, we benefit from them, we make a lot of money from them. Thank them, but the main rectification is not to fear anyone who opposes what our Rebbe speaks of the ways of serving Hashem."

"Anyone who only sees the opponents, Baruch Hashem we are normal people who know that you do not deal with crazies, we have no business with them, but this is the main awe - the main awe is not to fear those who distance me from our Rebbe, not to fear those who confuse from serving Hashem, and this is the main rectification of the plague, which comes through the fall of awe."

"The main plague that is always in the world, is from fallen fears, a quarter of the world is crazy, it's a plague of madness. And there is a plague of blemish of the covenant, a plague of fears, they are afraid to come to Breslov."

"They are afraid of someone who speaks nonsense, and everyone laughs at them, and this is the fallen awe, which swallows, and this is the plague that is in the world. There is one completely crazy person who works on others, everyone knows this and says this."

"Pity on some young (the opponents) who in another year or two will return to teshuvah, but what they cause in the meantime, Hashem protect, but we need to rectify this plague."

"Hide with the tzaddik, in the tzaddik's sack, make such a strong connection, make such a strong connection, that the craziest opponent - even a crazy Breslover cannot touch you."

Crazies out, I have no business with the mentally ill."

"The matter of our Rebbe depends on request and search, whoever searches merits, there is no need to speak against the other, he will return in teshuvah, the main thing is what will be with me? That nothing enters me that confuses me from the awe of Hashem, because the whole plague that so many young men fell to the army and smartphones, because of the disputes, that do not honor the Torah."

"And there are some crazies who do not walk in the way of the Torah and halacha, and it seems they are the Breslovers, some young people go crazy from them, no one cares about them, but what troubles come from this.."

"The way of the opponents of the tzaddik, for them the main thing is smallness. Greatness? After death!"

If you protest against the opponent, they will call you by every possible name, they will also make us opponents. An opponent is someone who does not hold from what is written in our Rebbe's books, none of them turned around R' Levi Yitzchak."

"They are driving the young men completely crazy, and who learns at all what our Rebbe says, that in everything there is the holiness of the Holy Tongue, to learn Torah with awe and enthusiasm, the world is confused."

"Whoever says something not from what our Rebbe says, he is an opponent, all the more so someone who imposes on another, if they impose, it is truly a famous falsehood."
