Rabbi Hahman of Bratzlav (1772 – 1810)Nachman of Breslov also known as Reb Nachman of Breslav, Nachman from Uman, or simply as Rebbe Nachman was the founder of the Breslov Hasidic dynasty.
Born at a time when the influence of his great-grandfather, the Baal Shem Tov, was waning, Rebbe Nachman breathed new life into the Hasidic movement by combining the esoteric secrets of Judaism (the Kabbalah) with in-depth Torah scholarship. He attracted thousands of followers during his lifetime, and after his death his followers continued to regard him as their Rebbe and did not appoint any successor. Rebbe Nachman's teachings continue to attract and inspire Jews the world over.
