Lesson No. 71 | Yahrtzeit (anniversary of passing) of Rebbe Nachman, Monday night, 18 Tishrei 5757 Continuation of Lesson No. 70 on the yahrtzeit of Rebbe Nachman.

However, truly drawing close requires humility, rather than a pursuit of status and uniqueness. This article explains—through Eliyahu HaNavi's (Elijah the Prophet's) confrontation with the claims of Achav (Ahab)—why questions and doubts arise against the true tzaddik, and how the abundance of these questions actually testifies to his supreme holiness.
