Likkutei Torah V'atah Yigdal #4 - The Source of ALL Anxiety—and How to Heal It
3w ago01:47:14Tap to summarizeWhen Life Throws You a Curveball, Surrender Becomes a LifelineThis is the fourth class in a series on the discourse "V'atah Yigdal Na Koach Adnai," presented by the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Schnuer Zalman of Liadi, on Shabbos Shlach, 28 Sivan, 5566, June 14, 1806, published in Likkutei Torah Shlach. This class was presented by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Thursday, Parshas Shlach, 26 Sivan, 5786, June 11, 2026, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The class explores why the deepest form of performing mitzvos is without reason; we discuss the argument of Reb Yishmael and Reb Akiva, how the Jews responded to the Ten Commandments, with a "yes" or a "no," and how when life hands you a curveball which you can't fit into your framework, "bitul" becomes a blissful lifeline. We explored at length the address of the Rebbe Shabbos Shlach, 1989, how when Moshe was told he should decide for himself if to send the spies, he felt he was given a new path in Judaism. G-d was telling him to trust himself. But how do we know when to trust ourselves and when not? The answer is: Trust your divinity, not your anxiety.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9936

Women's Shlach Class - Am I a Prophet or a Basket Case? When G-d Says, It's Time You Trust Yourself
3w ago01:32:15Tap to summarizeWe All Have an Inner Knowing; But Maybe We Don't? When Moshe Was Given a New PathIt is almost incomprehensible. G-d always gave him decisive directives. Suddenly, G-d tells Moses, I am staying out of this one. Yet astonishingly, Moses does not back off. Why? A reflection on two models of Judaism, two models of relationships, helps us appreciate when and how to trust ourselves in life. This class was presented by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Tuesday, Parshas Shlach, 24 Sivan, 5786, June 9, 2026, at The Barn @ 84 Viola Rd. in Montebello, NY.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9935

Likkutei Torah V'atah Yigdal #3 - A MUST for Educators: Why Do Young People Feel That if Judaism Isn't Miserable It’s Not Real?!
3w ago01:21:30Tap to summarizeHave We Deprived a Generation of EXPERIENCING Yiddishkeit & Chassidus?This is the third class in a series on the discourse "V'atah Yigdal Na Koach Adnai," presented by the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Schnuer Zalman of Liadi, on Shabbos Shlach, 28 Sivan, 5566, June 14, 1806, published in Likkutei Torah Shlach. Rabbi YY Jacobson gave the class on Monday, Parshas Shlach, 23 Sivan, 5786, June 8, 2026, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The class focused on a letter Rabbi YY received from a Yeshiva boy lamenting how so many youth experience Judaism and Chassidus as something that can't really resonate with their most authentic selves; for it to be true, it must be miserable. He addressed the proper way to communicate Judaism, Chassidus, and Tanya, igniting a fire in the eyes of our students and children. The class explores the concepts in Tanya of "the mind ruling the heart," and "pushing away your feelings and cravings with two hands," as well as the "banuni," not focusing on emotions, but on thoughts, words, and actions.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9932

4w ago01:11:56Tap to summarizeHave We Distorted Torah and Chassidus to Make Ourselves Feel Better?This is the second class in a series on the discourse "V'atah Yigdal Na Koach Adnai," presented by the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Schnuer Zalman of Liadi, on Shabbos Shlach, 28 Sivan, 5566, June 14, 1806, published in Likkutei Torah Parshas Shlach. Rabbi YY Jacobson gave the class on Thursday, Parshas Behaaloscha 19 Sivan, 5786, June 4, 2026, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The class explores how you know when your healing journeys have taken a detour, and how we know when we are distorting Torah and Chassidus to make us feel better. Ultimately, all healing is about alignment and surrender to Source, and brings us into a deeper relationship with Torah and Mitzvos. We discuss how the Arizal and all the Tzaddikim reached their deepest spiritual experiences through the joy of Mitzvos.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9930
