A Musical Journey into the Tikkun HaKlali
From Rav Lazer Brody's "Emuna Beams" website:
This fantastic CD features the Tikkun HaKlali set to music, composed and performed by one of Israel's and Breslov's best ballad singers, Guy Tzvi Mintz of Bat Ayin, and the Bayit Shlishi [Third Temple] Ensemble. The original Hebrew edition took Israel by storm. This edition - produced in cooperation with Emuna Outreach - features Guy Tzvi's same exquisite performance of the Tikkun HaKlali, with an English introduction by Rav Lazer Brody. In addition to the Tikkun HaKlali, this CD includes "Shirat HaYam", "Mizmor L'Todah," and "Aleinu".

Rav Lazer continues: "To show you just how sweet Guy Tzvi Mintz's musical journey into the Tikkun HaKlali is, here's a sample - Guy Tzvi singing Psalm 90 , one of the ten Psalms of the Tikkun HaKlali."

Yitz adds: Guy Tzvi Mintz is one of the up-and-coming Israeli musicians, or rather, baalei Negina. Those who understand Hebrew can see an eight minute video interview and songs here. His album "Niggun Adin" [A Gentle Tune"] is fantastic - hear samples of it here. He has a few other CDs out, plus a book in Hebrew about Kosher Negina.
And of course, there's Rebbe Nachman's promise:
"Rebbe Nachman made a promise that no other Tzaddik in the whole of Jewish history has ever made. Taking two of his closest followers as witnesses, he said: "When my days are ended and I leave this world, I will intercede for anyone who comes to my grave, recites the Ten Psalms of the Tikkun HaKlali [General Remedy] - and gives some charity. No matter how serious his sins and transgressions, I will do everything in my power to save him and cleanse him..."

So for those Breslovers preparing to go soon to Uman for Rosh Hashana, this disk can be a very useful tool, thanks to Rav Lazer and Guy Tzvi Mintz!
