The Source of ALL Anxiety—and How to Heal It - Likkutei Torah V'atah Yigdal #4 Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

When Life Throws You a Curveball, Surrender Becomes a Lifeline

This 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.

Am I a Prophet or a Basket Case? When G-d Says, It's Time You Trust Yourself - Women's Shlach Class Jun 09, 2026

Show notes

We All Have an Inner Knowing; But Maybe We Don't? When Moshe Was Given a New Path

It 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.

A MUST for Educators: Why Do Young People Feel That if Judaism Isn't Miserable It’s Not Real?! - Likkutei Torah V'atah Yigdal #3 Jun 08, 2026

Show notes

Have 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.

How Do You Know When Your Healing Journeys Are Going Off Track? - Likkutei Torah V'atah Yigdal #2 Jun 04, 2026

Show notes

Have 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.

When We Discuss G-d's Infinity, It's Not (Only) About Him; It’s About YOU - Likkutei Torah V'atah Yigdal #1 Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

Compassion for the Distance Between Who I Am and Who I Think I Am

This is the first 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 Monday, Parshas Behaaloscha 16 Sivan, 5786, June 1, 2026, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.

The class explores the distinction between the soul before descending to earth and afterward. We explain the difference between this world and all the higher worlds, and why true growth and transformation only happen here below. The class discussed arousing profound compassion for ourselves when we discover our conscious distance from who we truly are, absorbed in the oneness of "Sovev."
