Rebbe Nachman Revealed the Concept of Dance

The daily chizuk of our teacher, the holy Gaon HaTzaddik Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, regarding the importance of holy dances and the tikkun (rectification) for the sale of Joseph

Monday, 9 Cheshvan 5785, these are his holy words:

In any case, it is discussed here that the entire Holocaust was a tikkun (rectification) for the sale of Joseph; the entire Holocaust, everything that the nation of Israel goes through, is because we must undergo in every generation what was done to Joseph the tzaddik.

It has now been 77 years, so it is possible that the next hundred years will pass in peace, in the merit of the prayers, in the merit of the Ma'ariv, and in the merit of the melodies, for the main thing is the melodies.

People see melodies and run away immediately, saying a few words and fleeing; it is exactly the opposite. The Rebbe says, "And He saw their distress when He heard their song (rinnah)," this is a Torah in Likutey Moharan, Torah 41.

So the tikkun (rectification) is only through melodies, "And He saw their distress when He heard their song," only the melody elevates the prayer.

The Baal Shem Tov revealed the concept of the melody; the Rebbe revealed the concept of the dance, which is the Seventh Beggar—that only Mashiach will finish the story, the Seventh Beggar who has no legs.

The whole concept that a person is without legs yet he can dance; the one who does not dance shows how many judgments (dinim) are upon him. Torah 169: Why does he not dance? Because there are judgments upon the legs.

There are judgments upon him, so he cannot dance. He thinks he is wise because he runs away, "Look, I have outsmarted everyone, I am not dancing; the fools are dancing, I am wise, I have fled from the dances." But it is exactly the opposite; he does not understand that he is in the most severe judgments.
