Reb Gedaliah said that Reb Avraham possessed a family mesorah <\/i>that the Rebbe’s nusach <\/i>in the berakhah “Atah chonen” <\/i>was “de’ah, binah ve-haskil”<\/i> (heard from Rabbi Elazar Kenig). (Cf. Siddur Rav Amram Gaon, Abudarham; Pri Eitz Chaim;<\/i> Siddur RaMaK; Siddur ARI Rav Asher; Siddur Tefillah Yesharah <\/i>\u2212 Berditchev; <\/i>etc. According to the annotated Siddur ARI <\/i>published recently by Rabbi Daniel Rimmer, this was the nusach <\/i>of the ARI zal.)<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Rabbi Nachman Burshteyn also remembered that Reb Avraham said \u201cde\u2019ah, binah, ve-haskil<\/i>.” Reb Avraham also told him that this had been the nusach <\/i>of the Breslover Chassidim in Tcherin.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Rabbi Avraham Shimon Burshteyn heard that Reb Avraham followed this nusach <\/i>because Reb Nosson often repeats it in Likkutei Halakhot<\/i>, and probably in his letters, as well.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
This mesorah <\/i>conflicts with that of Reb Levi Yitzchak Bender, who stated that in Uman, the nusach <\/i>of this berakhah <\/i>was \u201cchokhmah, binah ve-da\u2019at<\/i>.\u201d However, it is possible that sometimes there were diverse customs among Breslover Chassidim in Uman (see Si\u2019ach Sarfei Kodesh <\/i>IV, 150).<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Rabbi Noson Barsky, son of Rabbi Shimshon Barsky of Uman, used to say \u201cchokhmah, binah ve-da\u2019at\u201d <\/i>(heard Rabbi Shimshon Barsky of Bnei Brak).<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Rabbi Noach Cheifetz recalled that Reb Gedaliah once told him to combine both nuschot<\/i>: “de’ah, binah ve-haskil, chokhmah, binah ve-da\u2019at\u201d<\/i> (heard from Rabbi Noach Cheifetz).<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The custom of the Tzefat community is to say “de’ah, binah ve-haskil,\u201d <\/i>while in Yerushalayim, it seems that most Breslovers say \u201cchokhmah, binah ve-da\u2019at.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In \u201cAtah kadosh,\u201d <\/i>most Breslovers add the words \u201cki E-l Melekh gadol ve-kadosh Atah.\u201d <\/i>This is part of the standard nusach Sefard<\/i>. It is also the custom of the Tzefat community. (In support, <\/i>see Abudarham<\/i>, based on Siddurei ha-Geonim<\/i>. However, Sha\u2019ar ha-Kavannot <\/i>omits this phrase, and it is not found in any versions of the Siddur ARI <\/i>except that of Rabbi Asher of Brod, which brings it as an alternative nusach<\/i>. Early Chassidic sources that omit it include Imrei Pinchos <\/i>[Bnei Brak 2003] vol. I, Sha\u2019ar Seder ha-Yom <\/i>87; Siddur Baal ha-Tanya; Siddur<\/i> Tefillah Yesharim-Berditchev; Siddur Heichal ha-Berakhah-Komarno<\/i>. The Manistritcher Chassidim in Uman also did not say it, as stated in \u2018Erkhei Yehoshua<\/i>, Kuntres Perach<\/i> Shoshanim <\/i>18; and it is omitted by the communities of Bobov, Munkatch, Spinka, Karlin-Stolin, and Slonim. However, most other Chassidim include it.)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Reb Avraham\u2019s nusach <\/i>for the berakhah \u201cRe’eh na\u201d <\/i>was: \u201cu-maher le-g’aleinu ge\u2019ulah sheleimah meherah le-ma’an shemekho\u2026\u201d <\/i>This is the custom of the Tzefat community.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Reb Gedaliah’s nusach <\/i>for the berakhah “Ri’fa’einu” <\/i>was: “Rifa’einu HaShem ve-neirafei, hoshi\u2019einu vi-nivashe’ah, ki sihilaseinu Atah, vi-ha’alei refuah sheleimah le-khol makhoveinu u-le-khol makoteinu, ki E-l Melekh Rofei Ne’eman vi-Rachaman Atah\u2026” <\/i>This is the custom of the Tzefat <\/i>community <\/i>(heard from Rabbi Elazar Kenig, Rabbi Noach Cheifetz, and Rabbi Dovid Shapiro).<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Reb Elazar said that what he heard specifically in the name of Reb Avraham was the inclusion of the phrase \u201cle-khol makhoveinu u-le-khol makoseinu.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
During the summer, Reb Gedaliah would say “Borkheinu,” <\/i>according to the Sefardic custom. This is mentioned in the writings of the ARI zal. <\/i>However, the Tzefat community follows the more common Ashkenazic custom to say “boreikh aleinu” <\/i>with “ve-tein berakhah” <\/i>as the seasonal variation for the summer months (Cf. Abudarham; Pri Eitz Chaim, Sha’ar ha-Amidah, <\/i>19; Sha\u2019ar ha-Kavannot, <\/i>etc. Several Chassidic siddurim <\/i>also include “borkheinu,” <\/i>e.g. Siddur Tefilah Yesharah-Berditchev, Siddur Beit<\/i> Aharon-Stolin<\/i>, Siddur Magen Avraham-Slonim<\/i>, and others).<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In \u201cBorekh Aleinu,\u201d <\/i>Reb Gedaliah said \u201cve-sab\u2019enu me-tuvah,\u201d <\/i>not \u201cme-tuvekha,\u201d <\/i>even when traveling (heard from Rabbi Dovid Shapiro). (Similarly, Siddur ARI Rav Asher; Imrei Pinchos <\/i>[Bnei Brak 2003] vol. I, Sha\u2019ar Seder ha-Yom <\/i>89; Siddur Tefilah Yesharah-Berditchev<\/i>; et al. This is nusach<\/i> Ashkenaz<\/i>; also see Magen Avraham<\/i>, Orach Chaim <\/i>117:2, in the name of Maharshal and Teshuvot ha-Rosh<\/i>. However, Ohr Tzaddikim<\/i>, brings the nusach \u201cme-tuvekha,\u201d <\/i>as does the Siddur<\/i> Baal ha-Tanya <\/i>and Darkei Chaim ve-Shalom [Munkatch], <\/i>163.)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Reb Avraham’s nusach <\/i>for “birkhat ha-minim” <\/i>included the phrase \u201cve-khol oyvei amkha meherah yikaretu\u2026” <\/i>Reb Elazar did not know if he then said \u201cve-ha-zeidim<\/i>,\u201d “u-malkhut zadon,” “u-malkhut zeidim,” <\/i>or “u-malchut ha-risha’h.” <\/i>However, the rest of the berakhah <\/i>followed the standard nusach Sefard: “meheirah ti’aker u-tishaber u-timager u-tikhalem vitashpilem vi-takhni’em bi-meheira vi-yameinu\u2026<\/i>” (Cf. Siddur ARI Rav Asher, <\/i>which is gores \u201coyvei amkha<\/i>,\u201d although there are difference elsewhere in the berakhah<\/i>.)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Bender remembered that in Uman, the nusach <\/i>of birkhat ha-minim <\/i>included the phrase \u201cve-khol ha-risha\u2019h ki-rega\u2019 toveid<\/i>,\u201d not \u201cve-khol ha-minim<\/i>.\u201d <\/i>(Si\u2019ach Sarfei Kodesh <\/i>IV, 150)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Rabbi Elazar mentioned that Rabbi Mordechai Sharabi, with whom both he and his father studied Kabbalah, once pointed out that the roshei teivot <\/i>of the chatimat ha-berakhah \u201cshoveir<\/i> oyvim u-machniya\u2019 zeidim\u201d <\/i>has the same gematria <\/i>as the Divine Name SHaDaY.<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
* * *<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Rabbi Gedaliah once explained that we say \u201coyvei amkha,\u201d <\/i>not \u201coyvekha,\u201d <\/i>because we cannot recognize the enemies of Hashem; however, the siman <\/i>is if they are enemies of Klal Yisrael, as indicated by the lashon \u201coyvei amkha\u201d<\/i> (heard from Rabbi Dovid Shapiro, who added that this seems to be based on Rashi, Bamidbar <\/i>10:35, s.v. \u201cmisanekha,\u201d <\/i>citing Midrash Tanchuma).<\/span><\/div>\n
