[1] This remedy is the song and name Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman, which he revealed in his old age to newfound followers throughout Israel; when he was younger he sent it to the chasidim before the shoa, including Rabbi Itshak Briter in Poland to their request, but since the war begun they had to send it back so it wouldn't be destroyed.

This book was Hishtafchut HaNefesh (Outpouring of the Soul) by Alter Tepliker, which contains excerpts from Rebbe Nachman's writings about meditation and personal prayer.

The young Odesser knew immediately that he had found his teacher, but his parents were strongly opposed to the Breslover path.

Moreover, when Odesser would pray in the synagogue, it was with such intense fervor that he often began to clap, dance, and spin ecstatically for hours.

After Halpern's death in 1918, Odesser became a personal attendant of Rabbi Solomon Eliezer Alfandari, the great Sephardi rav and kabbalist known as the Saba Kadisha, who was living in Tiberias at the time.

After seeing Odesser recite the Tikkun Chatzot (Midnight Lament over the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash) one night, however, the Saba Kadisha refused to let him attend him anymore, and instead treated him as a young colleague.

The word "ibey" (אבי), meaning buds, in the Hebrew title of the book, is a reversal of the abbreviation of Odesser's name (ישראל בער אדסר).

The Hebrew title "Ibey Ha-Nachal" therefore has the double meanings "Yisroel Odesser, the stream/river" and "Young Buds of the Stream".

He would most frequently reside in Meron, Tzefat, Tiberias, Ramat Gan, Bnei Brak, Beitar, Mevaseret Zion, and in the Jerusalem neighborhoods of Har Nof, the Old City, and Neve Yaakov.

[citation needed] Odesser collected close to half a million dollars in tzedaka (charity) money in two years without leaving his wheelchair.

He left the entire sum to establish Keren Yisroel Dov Odesser for printing and distributing the books of Rebbe Nachman at subsidized prices.

In short, the person who comes with the Tikoun Haklali, which is the reparation and the rectification for sexual sins, embodies the Messiah son of Joseph, and the person who receives and reveals the reparation of speech, which is the new song—simple, double, triple, and quadruple according to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and Rabbi Nathan Steinheartz in the Likutey Halakhot, is the real Messiah included of the two and he will bring the whole world close to God forever.

On his tombstone is engraved: "Rabbi Israel Dov Ber Odesser, a"h, [who] said, 'I am Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman.'"
