 Mesivta Heichal HaKodesh was founded in 1964 by Rabbi Elizer Shlomo Schik (Mohorosh) shlit"a, renowned Breslover leader, Rosh Yeshiva, and author of over one-hundred hard-covered books, plus over a thousand booklets, all based on the teachings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov z"l.
Mohorosh was a young boy of fifteen and a half when he found the book "Meshivas Nefesh" - a Breslover sefer speaking about encouragement. It attracted him like a magnet and initiated his lifelong total commitment to Breslover Chassidus. He began following Rabbi Nachman's teachings, spending many hours each day in Hissbodedus (private prayer) as Rabbi Nachman requested, and studying Torah with a tremendous diligence in accordance with Rabbi Nachman's system of learning (see Sichos Haran chapter 76). After seeing what a small booklet can do to a person, he then and there promised himself that as soon as the opportunity arrives he will make available all of Rabbi Nachman's books to the entire world. This opportunity arrived immediately after his marriage and he then began printing Rabbi Nachman's books and distributing them all over the world at below cost price. Breslov gained respect and popularity around the globe, due to Mohorosh's "msiras nefesh" (self-sacrifice) to get Rabbi Nachmans message out to the world. In 1965, Mohorosh started printing and | distributing Rabbi Nachman's books and teachings. He printed and distributed a total of 85,000 books that year - quite an accomplishment for a young man who just turned twenty-five with no money in his pocket. He continued on this path year after year until the name Breslov gained international fame and respect. Recent years have seen publications in the millions and Breslov centers sprouting all over the globe.
