This is the Moment G-d Has Been Waiting for Since Before Creation - Mayim Rabim 5738 #3 Oct 19, 2026

Show notes

Six Thousand Years of History, Infinite Worlds, and Unimaginable Sacrifice—All Waiting for You to Choose Love over Fear

THE CHOICE IN TIME THAT FULFILLS THE DREAM BEYOND TIME: Before there was time, space, or existence, G-d dreamed of one moment, the moment you would turn toward Him.

What if your next choice changes everything—even for G-d? The astonishing secret of how your smallest act of love and truth constitutes the purpose of everything.

Hashem did not envision an idealized soul floating above struggle. Before creation, He held the image of you as you are here: human, vulnerable, facing concealment, and still capable of choosing truth and love. The world was created so that the love known beyond time could become a relationship freely chosen within time.

This class is the third in a series on the Maamar Mayim Rabim, said by the Lubavitcher Rebbe on Motzei Shabbos Parshas Noach, 3 Cheshvan, 5738, October 15, 1977, in his room.

This class was presented by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Monday, 8 Cheshvan, 5787, October 19, 2026, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.

What Really Happened on the Dubai Plane? - Women's Bereishis Class Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

The FlyDubai Plane Was Hijacked. He Stood Up. Would I?

This class, presented on Tuesday, Parshas Bereishis, 25 Tishrei, 5787, Oct. 6, 2026. explores the extraordinary, miraculous story of the FlyDubai flight, flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv, saved by the co-pilot who attempted to murder hundreds, maybe thousands. It speaks of twelve miracles that saved the day and caused a nation to erupt in praise and dance.

The class tells the story of sibling rivalry throughout Bereishis, beginning with Kayin and Hevel, ending with Joseph and his brothers. It contrasts the stories of Adam and Eve and Kayin and Hevel, who avoid responsibility for genuine leadership, which assumes responsibility. It shows the difference between Kayin and Yosef, and how that inspired Moshe to go out to his brothers and stand up when "there was no man."

The class concludes with a lesson to each of us, even the simple ones, to have the courage to "storm the cockpit" and bring our plane home. There are moments when history asks a person a single question: Will you remain in your seat, or will you stand up and become the person this moment needs?
