Israel Museum features Breslov seclusion chairs

An new exhibit at the Israel Museum features chairs used by followers of the Hassidic sect when they seclude themselves in nature. Regular even daily seclusion, ideally in nature, is a central practice of the followers of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810). Breslov Hassidim consider the priority of this practice to be "higher than everything else." Rabbi Nachman recommended "devoting at least an hour a day to seculsion in a room or in a field for a detailed discussion between you and your G-d."
