The first of Rebbe Nachman's Thirteen Tales is the "Tale of the Lost Princess."

Although all of Rebbe Nachman's tales are conducive 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 ability 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.
