This is Reb Nosson of Nemyriv’s prayer for hitbodedut, a praxis of making oneself alone in order to speak, privately and uninterrupted, from the depths of ones heart. As recommended here, the praxis is recommended to take place outside in a field (or a forested field) — a place in which the vitality of the simply aspirating flora around the practitioner might be woven together, support, and elevate the speech of the practitioner, who may either feel overwhelmed with the complexity of their thoughts and feelings, or else may simply not know where else to begin except through connecting their own life with that of the yearning for life in surrounding vegetation. As the prayers of Reb Nosson are inspired by the teachings of his rebbe, Naḥman of Bratslav, one can also consult those as found in Likutei Moharan, Introduction 15, in Likutey Moharan, Part II:11, and in Likutei Moharan, Part II 25:1. (Also find Likutei Moharan, Part II 1:11.) The second half of Liqutei Tefilot Ⅱ:11 is not presented here, and seems to me like an example of a prayer arising out of hitbodedut.

The English translation presented here is adapted from the slightly abridged translation provided in Gates of Prayer (ed. Chaim Stern, CCAR 1975) and The Fiftieth Gate vol. 6 (ed. Yaacov David Shulman, Breslov Research Institute 2016). I have added citations and arranged the translation in a linear format, phrase by phrase, with some occasional small stylistic edits to the translation. –Aharon Varady

Noson Sternhartz of Nemyriv

Nathan of Bratslav (January 22, 1780 – December 20, 1844), also known as Reb Noson, born Nathan Sternhartz in Nemyriv, was the chief disciple and scribe of Rebbe Naḥman of Bratslav, founder of the Bratslav stream of Ḥasidut. Reb Noson is credited with preserving, promoting and expanding the Breslov movement after the Rebbe's death. Rebbe Naḥman himself said, "Were it not for Reb Noson, not a page of my writings would have remained." (from his entry in Wikipedia)

Additional Notes:   

• The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of volunteer contributors, or its institutional partners.
• We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
• If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work:    The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
