Explainer
Likutey Moharan Tinyana, Torah forty two. A teaching of one line, on a verse of healing.
The Torah says: for I am Hashem your Healer. Rebbe Nachman notes that the first letters of these words are the first letters of Amen, ken yehi ratzon: Amen, so may it be His will.
Every Amen we answer, and every prayer that it be His will, is bound up with Hashem's promise of healing. The Hebrew adds that the matter is explained elsewhere.
Some reflections of our own, not a quotation. Answer Amen with your whole heart, and add: so may it be His will. Healing is hidden inside it.
