Missed the opening class? You can still join. Your next step can begin now.
You give so much to your family, your home, and your Yiddishkeit. Why does it still feel as though you should be doing more?
In Rebbe Nachman's Chochom and Tam, two friends take very different paths. One keeps searching for something better; the other learns to work, appreciate, and grow from where he is. Their story brings our own habits into focus — the comparison, the second-guessing, and the joy we keep postponing.
This journey is not about abandoning wisdom or pretending life is easy. It is about building the vessels to hold wisdom: humility, truthful thought, gratitude, tefillah, and steady action. We begin through Likutei Moharan I:49 and carry those questions into the story and into real life.
Each Monday, take one teaching beyond the shiur: a decision you can make, a kinder sentence you can say, a moment of appreciation you can notice. Small enough to practise. Meaningful enough to matter.
After the yomim tovim, it is easy to pull the blanket over your head and slip back into familiar patterns. Or you can stay awake to what Rebbe Nachman's story is asking of you — and learn how to bring it into your life.
The opening class was October 12. The next shiur is Monday, October 19. If you missed the first step, do not let that become the reason you miss the next seven. Join a deliberately small circle of women learning, asking, and practising together.
You do not need to become a different person by Monday. Just make room for one different choice.
First three private coaching places: Taken. Course enrollment is still open.
You dream of the perfect Shabbos table, the flawless davening, the perfectly behaved children. Yet the pursuit of “perfect” often leaves you feeling anything but.
You look around and that quiet voice whispers, ‘I'm not enough.’ The beautiful taam of your Yiddishkeit feels distant.
Your mind races with ‘shoulds’ and ‘musts,’ leaving you disconnected from your family, your prayers, and your own soul.
When every effort becomes another thing to judge, there is little room to appreciate what is already good or begin the next step calmly.
“Rebbe Nachman teaches that one should strive for the highest and be happy with the lowest.”
But how do we actually live that way — especially when we feel the gap?
Authentic • Healthy • Enjoyable • Alive • Delighted — with the right daas
A shiur is only the beginning. Together, we turn the teaching into choices you can practise in your davening, your relationships, and the ordinary moments of your day.
Notice the thought. Ask what is true. Choose a response. Take one manageable step. Each week brings a new part of the story, space for your questions, and a practice to carry home — not another demand to get everything right.
Notice comparison or self-criticism, then name one honest, constructive thought you can act on.
Choose one action you can repeat, rather than waiting for the perfect mood or a complete plan.
Pause before reacting. Give yourself room to respond with more clarity and less urgency.
Name something specific to appreciate in your effort, your family, or your avodas Hashem.
The weekly curriculum
Follow the Chochom and Tam from their first choices to the King's summons and beyond. Each week pairs the teaching with reflection and a practical takeaway from your course workbook.
Week 1 · October 12 · 1 Cheshvan
Begin with the two friends and the opening of the story. Through Likutei Moharan I:49, explore chochmah, temimus, tzimtzum, and the vessels that allow wisdom to become lived daas.
Bring it home: Choose one truthful thought and turn it into a short tefillah and a manageable action.
Week 2 · October 19 · 8 Cheshvan
When does exploring help us find our place — and when does it keep us from choosing? Identify your strengths, responsibilities, and personal niche without demanding perfect certainty.
Bring it home: Set a decision point. Try one small step instead of researching every possible future.
Week 3 · October 26 · 15 Cheshvan
Learn from the Tam's relationship with his work. Separate healthy improvement from constant flaw-finding, appreciate real effort, and make space for simchah without denying difficulty.
Bring it home: Name one specific good in your work today, even while there is still room to improve.
Week 4 · November 2 · 22 Cheshvan
Distinguish useful correction from contempt. Explore the inner critic, respectful boundaries, and educating ourselves and our children with dignity and machshavos tovos.
Bring it home: Replace a sweeping criticism with one kind, specific sentence about what can be repaired.
Week 5 · November 9 · 29 Cheshvan
Bring the story into shalom bayis. Meet the real person rather than the image in your mind; separate facts from assumed motives and express needs with respect.
Bring it home: Ask one honest question before assuming what someone else meant.
Week 6 · November 16 · 6 Kislev
What happens when an invitation asks us to grow? Explore emunah, teachability, and responsible discernment — receiving more without needing to control every detail.
Bring it home: Take one responsible next step with a question still unanswered. Temimus is not gullibility.
Week 7 · November 23 · 13 Kislev
Recognize the difference between a question seeking truth and an argument that allows no answer. Notice rationalization and bring thought, speech, and action back into alignment.
Bring it home: Notice one excuse that keeps you stuck. Say what is true and choose a small action that follows it.
Week 8 · November 30 · 20 Kislev
Complete the story with compassion, the willingness to receive help, and the freedom to let go of being right. Gather the vessels of humility, truth, tefillah, gratitude, and action.
Bring it home: Choose a simple rhythm you can continue after the course. A missed step is a place to return, not the end.
You do not need to have it all figured out before you join. Come with your questions — and a willingness to begin.
Engaging, interactive classes with direct guidance, a close-knit community, and a genuine sichas chaveirim experience.
Available for a limited time post-program so you can review and integrate at your own pace.
Practical exercises, reflection prompts, and integration plans for every week.
Short, actionable prompts to keep your Taam practice alive each week.
Immediate tools to reframe negative self-talk and find inner peace.
A supportive, non-judgmental space to share, ask questions, and connect with like-minded Breslov women.
Real Women. Real Transformation.
From women who attended the previous cohort of Ben Melech and Ben Shifchah Exchanged — not perfection, not pressure, but quiet, joyful freedom in their own homes.
“For the first time in my life, I catch the medamah in the act. That voice starts up — 'you're failing, look at her' — and instead of drowning in it, I notice it. I name it. And I don't punish myself anymore. The relief is indescribable.”
“I learned to separate my real self from my inner critic. They are not the same. Once I saw that, the whole heaviness lifted. I finally have room to breathe inside my own home.”
“I accept myself now — and because of that, I accept my husband and my children. I see who they actually are, without the judgement. I'm not trying to fix everyone anymore.”
“The biggest surprise? I enjoy my family. I find them amusing. The very things that used to make me tense now make me smile. My home has a taam it never had before.”
“I came in exhausted from striving. I left with yishuv hadaas. Nothing in my circumstances changed — everything in how I experience them did.”
“This is the Rebbe's derech made practical. Small steps, real life, every single day. I wish I had found this years ago.”
“Thank you for giving over your wisdom and sharing your soul these past few months. It was amazing and so transformational, and you had a huge part in that. Thanks for making space for my big soul and big ego ;)”
“Dear Esty, I can't thank you enough for all the wonderful things you have taught me. Hashem should repay you and you should have a lechtiga sweet new year and a כתיבה וחתימה טובה!”
If you just read those words and thought, “I want that. I need that.” — that is your own neshamah recognizing what is possible for you.
