Help support Breslov Therapy: linktr.ee/breslovtherapyThis class is based on Likutey Moharan lesson 24. For more on this lesson: linktr.ee/breslovtherapy_lesson_24In Parshat Mishpatim, the Torah forbids charging interest (ribit), likening it to a snake bite—initially unnoticed but ultimately devastating. Rashi explains that just as a snake’s venom spreads from the foot to the skull, financial distress caused by interest escalates until it overtakes a person’s life. Rebbe Nachman teaches that ribit stems from anxiety and lack of emunah, blocking Hashem’s blessings. The word neshech (interest) hints at this danger, combining nun (50, symbolizing Keter, the highest spiritual level) and shach (320, representing harsh judgments). The antidote to this spiritual and financial entrapment is simcha—joy in serving Hashem. By maintaining faith and performing mitzvot with happiness, a person reopens the channels of divine sustenance, breaking free from worry and the trap of ribit.If you have been inspired by this class/lecture please share it with your friends.
