BS”D The Rebbe's Issue 159 This is a weekly publication Pharmacy that brings the profound advice of Rebbe Nachman in Sichos HaRan into the hearts and daily lives of today’s generation Chizuk and Inspiration from the Conversations of Rebbe Nachman Sichah 30 Rebbe Nachman was very strict about not wasting time for cleanliness and not spending a long time in the bathroom. The general principle is that “the Torah was not given to the angels (Brachos 25:).” So, a person doesn’t need to be more strict than the halachah, and the halachah is that it is only prohibited [to daven] when a person actually needs to go the bathroom, like the Gemarra says, “One who needs to go to the bathroom shouldn’t daven” – specifically, “needs to go.” And even when a person actually needs to go to the bathroom, there are still halachic nuances in non-ideal situations and difficult circumstances, as it says in the Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 92 – see the Magen Avra- ham who brings the Rif who permits [a person to daven] lechatchilah as long as he is able to hold it in for the amount of time it takes to travel a parsah).

And, in truth, it is not possible in any way for the body to be completely clean with nothing left inside of it, since even if a person fasts from Shabbos until Shabbos, he still needs to go to the bathroom at the end of the week, even though he didn’t eat for a number of days, because it is necessary for a little bit to remain in the body. When we really look with eyes of trying to be like the angels, when Hashem although we should follow the basic hal- truth at our situation in this world, we is not asking that from us, and
