Parsha Chayei Sarah: The Pain of Our Generation: Disconnect. How Do We Heal?

The Mouthpiece: Rabbi YY Reveals Life-Changing Advice He Received From Rabbi Adin Even Yisroel For Source Sheets: https://www.theyeshiva.net/jewish/9484 This class was presented on Tuesday, 18 Cheshvan, 5784, November 19, 2024, Parshas Chayei Sara, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. What happens when we function perfectly on the outside, do everything 'properly,' but inside something is frozen, disconnected, like on an automaton? It has already become a way of life, and we are used to it, but the soul knows something more is available. This class explores one of the deepest pains of our generation: disconnect. A surprising discovery by the Gaon of Vilna sheds light on the difference between a functional life and a real life. Through the seven times that the burial of the dead is mentioned in the parsha, we will discover how it is possible to free the heart from the prison built around it, and return to feeling - without fear, shame, and defenses.

Parshas Vayeira: Is It Possible that Your Soul Signed Off on Everything that Goes Down in Your Life?

G-d Was Seeking Reassurance to Create the World. Who Gave It To Him? Why Does G-d Share Secrets with Avraham? For Source Sheets: https://www.theyeshiva.net/jewish/9476 This class was presented on Tuesday, 11 Cheshvan, 5784, November 12, 2024, Parshas Vayera, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. It is one of the most mysterious and potent verses in the Tanach. G-d speaks to Himself and challenges His desire to cover things up: “Now G-d had said, ‘Shall I hide (ham’chaseh ani) from Abraham what I am about to do?” Why does G-d feel compelled to reveal His plan with Abraham? And why is God thinking of covering it up to begin with? And why does G-d’s choice to reveal His thoughts feel like a rejection of His desire to remain closed? The class explores the view of the Chasam Sofer, urging us to live a life of giving and inspiring even at the expense of our “prophetic potential.” Then we explore the deeper interpretation of how deep the Divine soul, embodied by Abraham, is rooted in the core of G-d preceding and encouraging all creation.
