About Me

My photo
Yonassan Gershom
I follow the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, but am not affiliated with any particular group, having learned the Breslov way from his books and by meditation in the forest as he taught. I live in northern Minnesota with my wife Caryl, 1 goose, 8 cats, a flock of chickens and a bunch of wildlife. No, there is no synagogue here. We hate the city and few Jews live in the country anymore. But no problem, God is everywhere!
