Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David take the most famous line in Breslov — “The whole world is a very narrow bridge” — and refuse to leave it as a slogan.

Rav Shlomo asks the real question: How?

How does a person actually cross the bridge without tipping into פחד… and without becoming anxious about their anxiety?

Reb Nosson reveals something startling: the narrow bridge has a name. It’s called Emes.

In this shiur we explore:

• Why the biggest מניעה isn’t your schedule — it’s meniat ha’moach (the mind’s endless chatter)
• The difference between “truth” as an idea, and truth as a lived conversation with Hashem
• How “gut feeling” can be holy… or can be קליפה — and how to clarify the difference
• Why Hashem’s “longing” is for one thing: dibburim shel emes — real words that come from where you actually are
• How one honest word (“I’m confused,” “I’m scared,” “I’m stuck”) becomes a Mishkan, a place where Hashem can dwell — and illuminate the path
