Who we are

Faith that meets real life. Community that shows up.

Ruach Breslov is a public charity in Flushing, New York, bringing Rebbe Nachman’s teachings into everyday life through Torah learning, personal mentorship, hospitality, and community.

A full room gathered for Torah and connection

Our mission

Help every person find hope, faith, and a place to belong.

Ruach Breslov’s mission is to strengthen Jewish life and human connection by bringing the teachings of Rebbe Nachman into the realities of everyday life. Through accessible Torah learning, one-on-one mentorship, shared meals, community gatherings, and compassionate outreach, we create a welcoming place where people of all backgrounds can find hope, deepen their relationship with God, build honest friendships, and meet life’s challenges with faith, joy, and purpose—so no one has to struggle or grow alone.

Our story

A few people around a table became a community.

Ruach Breslov began with people learning together, speaking honestly, and making room for one another. The gathering grew because nobody had to pretend they had everything figured out.

Inspired by Rebbe Nachman, we believe every soul carries immeasurable light, even when it feels hidden. Sometimes a piece of Torah, a shared meal, a good friend, or one real conversation is enough to help someone see it again.

What we do

The mission becomes real in the room.

Our programs bring learning, mentorship, hospitality, and human connection together in practical ways.

Weekly Torah around the table

Open a sefer, ask what is really on your mind, and leave with something you can carry into the week.

One honest conversation

Personal mentorship for the moments when a little direction—or simply someone listening—can make a difference.

Food, music, and being together

Community nights where people share a meal, laugh, learn, and stop feeling like they have to do life alone.

A door that stays open

Guest teachers, outreach, and a warm welcome for anyone looking for connection, encouragement, or a way back in.

Help keep the door open.

Your support helps provide weekly Torah learning, personal guidance, food and hospitality, guest speakers, community events, and outreach.
