Part 12 of The Lost Princess — a heart-share journey through Rebbe Nachman's tale of Aveidas Bas Melech, learned not as a fairy tale but as a mirror of our own search to come home to ourselves. There's a voice that meets us after we fall. For most of us it's the voice of blame — and it buries us. This shiur is about a different voice. The viceroy returns after his first failure — he was so close, and on the very last day he ate, and lost everything. Now he stands before the Bas Melech again, and watch what she does. She doesn't rage. She doesn't shame him. But she also doesn't pretend it didn't happen. She tells him the plain truth — "had you come that day, you would have taken me out" — and in the very same breath she makes the next task easier, because she knows the yetzer hara is strongest on the last day. That is the whole secret: accountability, not blame. She holds him to what happened without ever crushing him for it. It turns out this is exactly how we have to learn to speak to ourselves after we fall — honest about the truth, but never cruel; facing what happened, but making the path walkable again, and refusing to let ourselves give up. Because the main thing was never that you fell. The main thing is that you don't fall asleep. And we come home to the week's avodah: five minutes a day of hisbodedus to meet your inner child — the part of you that doesn't need to be fixed or proven, only loved — and to start noticing, with honesty, how much we rationalize and justify to ourselves all day long. Eilech V'anaseh — "Let me go and try." A chabura founded by Gavriel Hass and facilitated by Nachman Fried, using the story of the Lost Princess as a workshop for honest self-reflection and inner growth. Not a group of people who have it figured out — a group of people who decided to try. Together.
