Hitbodedut (self-isolation), is a style of prayer popularized by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, is the act of open, spontaneous, and direct communication with God. It is accessible to all, regardless of how deeply one is engaged in Judaism.
By removing the potential pretense and awkwardness of reciting prayers others have written in, hitbodedut lets us speak our minds and hearts, embrace our vulnerability, and open ourselves to the Creator.
For many, the act of unscripted prayer may seem daunting. It can be difficult enough to recite prayers in Hebrew that have already been written; coming up with our own words to connect to the Creator of the Universe is another thing entirely.
In this course, Rav Dror gives a comprehensive understanding of this method of prayer. From there, he gives an accessible way to embody this practice with much guidance and inspiration.
The intention with this offering is that you walk away confident in your knowing that HaShem is waiting to hear from you, and now you have the courage to show up and talk to the one who is waiting to hear from you.
