  The Bratslav Theory of the Sacred Tale
The Bratslav story is supposed to be the garb in narrative terms of a theological concept.
The Bratslav theory of literature, its concept of the utilization of folktales, would be incomplete without reference to the notion of the zadik, especially as it appears in the model sermon "Bo El Par'oh," also delivered toward the end of 1806.
Whether or not the thirteen canonical Bratslav tales actually conform to the theory expressed in these three early and authentic Bratslav documents - and there is good reason to state that many of them don't - the very self-consciousness of the theoretical statements betrays an awareness of an implicit crossing of genre borders.

Bratslav Hassidim believe that bringing as many Jews as possible to the grave site of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav in Uman, Ukraine, on the eve of Rosh Hashana helps bring closer the redemption.

Another leading Bratslav rabbi is Elazar Mordechai Koenig of Safed, who was involved in a bitter conflict with a Sephardi rabbi, also from Safed, who resuscitated the age-old criticism of Lithuanian haredim against Hassidism for deviating from Orthodox theology.

Bratslav chasidim, known for their devotion to the graves of holy men, have repeatedly slipped into the Palestinian city of 150,000 to worship at Joseph’s Tomb in recent months, infuriating military authorities.

 JHOM - Nahman of Bratslav
Nahman of Bratslav (1772-1810) lived during the height of the Hasidic movement in Eastern Europe, at the peak of his short life becoming the zaddik of the town of Bratslav.
As the "Bratslaver zaddik," Nahman was known as the "master of dance and music." His most emphasized spiritual practice was hitbodedut (lit., solitude/seclusion), privately pouring out of one's heart in prayer before God.
He began to refer to himself as the Messiah ben Joseph (the precursor to the Davidic messiah), and to prepare his disciples for an imminent messianic redemption.

 Bratslav's Tower of Babel - Haaretz - Israel News
In recent years, the World Bratslav Committee has collapsed, so there is no umbrella organization or establishment behind the gathering, but rather several dozen organizations that act independently, with a certain amount of cooperation among them.
Thus, for example, every year a different group volunteers to set up a clinic, including doctors and equipment that are flown in, and various organizations operate kitchens and dining halls and arrange deals with airlines.
Every Bratslav organization also tries to earn money here to support its institutions, via charity boxes, fundraising activities aimed mainly at Jews from the Americas and Europe, and real estate deals in the flourishing apartment market.

Rabbi Asher Weissfish, a Bratslav leader and an organizer of the excursions, described Friday´s violence as "a very painful blow." But he blamed the Israeli army, which he said had not done enough to open the site to visitors more often.

 Rabbi Nahman, Napoleon and Other Messiahs
The best-known precedent was that of Rabbi Nahman of Bratslav, an enigmatic figure whose life was filled with torment and controversy.

The body of this book is comprised of the thirteen Tales of Rabbi Nahman of Bratslav, one of the most renowned of the early Hasidic masters of prayer and probably the greatest of the Hasidic storytellers.
These tales are presented in a style both readable and scrupulously close to the original.
THE reputation of Nahman of Bratslav (1772-1810), both as charismatic religious leader and intriguing author of enigmatic tales, is inevitably associated with Hasidism, the religious and social movement which has embraced and revitalized much of Jewish spiritual life from the mid-18th century until today.
