Rav Shalom Arush shlit"a, head of the 'Chut Shel Chessed' institutions and one of the great influencers of Breslov, spoke on the Breslov information line about the halting of flights to Ukraine and the closing of the path to Uman.

Rav Arush shared that after a long session of Hitbodedut, he concluded that all the obstacles to reaching Uman this year are solely because there is no love and unity among the Breslov chassidim traveling to Uman. These are his holy words.

May it be Hashem's will that these words reach understanding hearts and that through the power of unity, all channels of abundance will be opened.

"I tell you that today in Hitbodedut, we reached the conclusion that the reason Hashem, and our Rebbe, did not accept us is because there is no peace. There is no peace, no unity, that is the reason, there is no unity among us. It is not pleasant to say, but we will tell the truth so that there will be unity."

"I am saying this to everyone who hears us, and to everyone who can influence. You have this Rav, and you have that Rav, your path is this way, and your path is that way, everything is excellent, but when we travel to Uman, we have a common denominator - we all came to Uman to fulfill the command of our Rebbe who said: No one should be missing."

"Therefore, in this, we are all equal, and in this, we are all brothers and united. Therefore, I concluded in Hitbodedut that we need to pray only for peace and love among the Breslov chassidim. Certainly, we need to pray for peace throughout all of Israel, but in Uman, there should be such unity, such love, such peace, and this will be the redemption."

"Last year, we did not merit this, I know closely what I know. We did not merit having peace, love, and unity in Uman, there is nothing I can do, only pray."

"I came to the conclusion that instead of praying for Hashem to open the way to Uman, for what? The reason the way to Uman is closed is because there is no peace and unity among the travelers, among those staying in Uman. We need to pray for there to be peace and love."

"We came to fulfill the command of the Rebbe, that you do not follow the method of another, and he does not follow your method, this will leave everyone in their place. We all came to fulfill the command of our Rebbe, when can there be a gathering? When there is love and unity! If not, then there is no gathering, even if we all sit together."

"For there to be a gathering through which our Rebbe will bring the redemption, there needs to be a gathering, love, and unity. Therefore, I said, instead of investing so many prayers to open the way, let's invest the prayers so that there will be peace and love among the travelers. Certainly, this will be the complete redemption, a million percent, and everyone who hears me, everyone will invest prayers in this, that there will be peace and love and unity."

"I tell you loudly: I truly love each and every one. I am not just saying this with my mouth, I am really ready to swear, I love each and every one without exception, even those who do not follow my method, my path, it does not matter to me. I love them all, I go with the emunah that everyone goes as Hashem leads him, as our Rebbe guides him, what do I care, I am not the master of the world, and I am not the Rebbe of the world, the Rebbe of the world is our Rebbe."

"So our Rebbe leads him this way, I do not get involved, I am not interested in who is right, it is not my concern, I love everyone. And so, everyone should know about themselves, I love everyone, everyone goes as our Rebbe guides him. This is what we need to pray for, that there will be peace and love, of course, if there is peace and love in Israel, Mashiach will come immediately, even now that it is Thursday night, we will hear the shofar of Mashiach."

"Let's pray for the cause of all the problems - discord, we need to stay away from discord completely. Only peace and love, love and unity, we came to gather together even though there are many minyanim in Uman, if everyone loves each other, it is called one minyan, but if there is no love and they say: no, in this minyan I will not pray."

"As someone told me, last Rosh Hashanah we saw one thing - everyone knew where they would not pray, with these I will not pray, oh dear, with these I will not pray? Oh dear, shame and disgrace! Is this called believing in our Rebbe? Even if you do not.., but on Rosh Hashanah certainly, we need to be together, separately because the place is not big enough, but, we pray together."

"May it be Hashem's will that we truly merit."

"We thank Hashem for the merit to awaken this point."

In another conversation, Rav Arush shlit"a addressed the public with a holy call to unite everyone in the work of prayer and Hitbodedut, and with this power to sweeten and remove the decree.

"Very dear avreichim, you who are close to..., living and breathing, now they returned about 80 people from the airport. They reached there and are being sent back, in short, every moment there is another rumor."

"We live with emunah that there is a Master of this world, what else is there in this world? Therefore, from Heaven, they want more prayers from us, we have no option to organize a bus (to go out for Hitbodedut), everyone should go out in cars, walk to Shimon HaTzaddik, to King David, I don't know, everyone should go to the field in Sanhedria."

"Everyone should arrive, to do two hours of Hitbodedut just on this, on opening the way to Uman, to plead, to really ask and present all the arguments in the world."

"There is none besides Him, we do not need to get into how it happens in this world, he said, we do not care. We will argue, Master of the Universe, you have not yet fully opened the way. Certainly, you have opened part of the way, Baruch Hashem, we see that some Jews have already arrived, and that's it, now the reality is that Jews who have arrived are now being sent back, or they need quarantine afterward in the land, and I don't know if they can fly to Uman at all..."

"Really.., do not fall into smallness, names of people, so-and-so, they said nothing, just strengthen that there is a Creator of the world. Hashem opened a little and then closed again, we are asking for it to be fully opened."

"And the truth is that everything is from Heaven, the Rebbe does not want them to arrive so early - people would just go crazy there - everything is from Heaven."

"We will pray, it will open, and we will merit that there will truly be travels, two weeks before Rosh Hashanah everything will be good, give a smile - Hashem will protect you."
