The Day You Discover that Everything Is Love

Your Darkness Is Your Best Friend & the World Is Your Greatest Ally

1 שעה 34 דקות

סיכום השיעור:

This weekly women's class was presented on Tuesday, Parshas Vayigash, 7 Tevet, 5781, December 22, 2020, live from Rabbi Jacobson's home in Monsey, NY.

The text-based class on Midrash Rabah and Sefas Emes Parshas Vayigash explores two enigmatic Midrashim on the portion, about Yehudah surrendering to Yosef, and Yosef's "rebuking" his brothers. How do we deal with our wounds inside and our challenges outside? Does the world hate us or love us? Is G-d my best friend or just my heavenly boss? How my own mind and actions can cause what is really love to be seen as hate, what is really light to be seen as darkness. We are given a blueprint of how to face every trauma and challenge and see it as an opportunity for infinite love and growth.

    Such an emotional experience for me. I am grateful.

    The story of Yehuda and Yosef is so profound -- the DNA running through our existence. the story of our lives to unveil in our own lives.

    Today Hashem made you unveil something for me, from my youth. Something that was a great hardship for me, and what was revealed now was that the daily pain, the soul pain, so hard to get rid of it, I asked G-d many times to help me change the view, but after half a century at this class, something very beautiful was uncovered. It was an eye-opener.

    Each time we must take the opportunity to listen with all our faculties, not only with our ears but with all our senses. And our visible body and spiritual body. And finally, someday we will experience the inner truth. At a split of the moment, it will open up. You must try and work and pray, and then suddenly we will experience the revelation.

    Amazing. Thank you. Thank G-d. What you do does not seem like work, but it is so much work. It comes from your natural self, from the real you. It is not only your learning, it is your core. Thank you for all you share with us.

    Can you explain this to me practically? I have challenges with my children, with my marriage, with so much. Can you explain this to me practically?

    Someone asked...

    So you find G-dliness in tragedy by knowing that my perception that it is dark is also G-d? Both are true at the same time? The dark and the light that we can’t see?

    Someone asked...

    Everything you shared really resonates. I’ve definitely experienced this to be true in my everyday life. But how to reconcile these ideas and avoid a negative narrative when faced with real pain you witness around you. Some things are beyond perception like a child in an oncology ward or you when you see the faithful suffer mind numbing tragedies. How to understand the ideas “mindset creates reality” in this context?
