The first of Rebbe Nachmun's Thirteen Tales is the " Tale of the Lost Princess". Although all of Rebbe Nachman's tales are conductive to awakening a person from a state of spiritual slumber, in invoking the blessing of children for the childless, and in improving one's income, this particular tale has the abilty of arousing the heart to the soft voice of the soul that calls from our deepest inner depths, yearning to cling to the root of her holiness, the light of joy and emuna.
