Siporay Masiyos

It is well known that often Tzadikim have to dress their Torah teachings and deep concepts in the form of stories. Amongst Rebbe Nachman’s many teachings he told over thirteen stories which carry deep symbolic meaning, of which make up Sipurei Masiyos. Usually included following the stories is a compilation of other short brilliant parables of Rebbe Nachman with inspiring messages. The Stories are novel where the reader meets fascinating characters and new lands, shining personalities and wondrous plots. Every little nuance in the stories carry great meaning and every word is precious and inspiring. Rebbe Nachman gave over the stories over a large span of time, sometimes only telling over parts at a given time. Sipurei Masiyos was compiled by Rebbe Nosson. Rebbe Nachman said that so holy were his stories that a barren woman who reads them would be healed and would give birth. Rebbe Nachman was also quoted as saying, “Most of the world says that telling stories puts people to sleep, I say telling stories can wake people up from their slumber!”
