Lost in Space With Breslov

Today was Chai Tishrei, the yahrzeit of R' Nachman of Breslov. Here in Kochav Hashachar, as in many other places, all sorts of people who are connected to R' Nachman, his Torah and his hanhagot held gatherings to elevate and be elevated by his memory. I am not a Breslov type of guy. I don't go out into desolate places to meditate. I don't play a guitar or other musical instrument because my acute sense of pitch always outstripped my lack of dexterity. In addition my mode of thought is more rational and pshat-driven.
Be that as it may, I did show up for a gathering in the sukkah of the Betzalel family, a young family in Kochav Hashachar. There were memories of R. Nachman and his Torah read out along with much song and musical accompaniment.
All of the above caused me to ponder the cause of the current popularity of Breslov in today's Israel. At the risk of being wrong, always a danger when you express an opinion, I would like to give a take on the relevance of Breslov today.
Most Israelis were raised on the idea of the klal, the tzibur, the nation and society, going beyond one's individual self. Whether secular and raised on somewhat Bolshevik socialism or religious and raised on Rav Kook, the Israelis are reacting the other way and looking for the space for their own personality and spirituality. This leads to the road to both India and Uman. Those of us who grew up in America were already experiencing this fragmentation of social and political responsibility in the post-Vietnam and post-modern generation which took longer to arrive in Israel. Those who react against this trend already present in their youth and come here are motivated by Rav Kook, the Lubavitcher Rebbe and Rav Meir Kahane. They are motivated to join a cause rather than to go meditate on a hilltop.
The Rambam points out that a person who tends toward one extreme must gravitate in the opposite direction in order to reach a balance in the middle. We see this pendulaum effect in the large-scale movements of groups of people. But in order to be prescriptive for the individual it is necessary to understand both the nature of the searchings of the person involved and his or her background and at the same time be aware of the inner asperations of that very individual human soul. Then the fine-tuning of applying dosages begins. Go for the right blend of sense of truth and emotional satisfaction and intellectual sense of truth. You are invited to comment and tell us about it.
