Rabbi Jacobson, my bubbe used to call me "mine shefele" and there was no greater love than those words.

I wanted to thank the Rov for another amazing inspirational shiur and for the insightful words which now help me understand Perek ק in Tehillim on yet a deeper level, bringing all the core ideas together.

‏מזמור לתודה Like the Rav said, I am forever grateful and I am able to

‏עבדו את השם בשמחה בואו לפניו ברננה

Serve Hashem with happiness Because I know

‏דעו כי השם הוא אלו קים…..‏ולו אנחנו עמו ‏וצאן מרעיתו

Hashem is my shepherd, and I am in good hands no matter what And the Perek ends so perfectly with the words

‏ועד דור ודור אמונתו.

I also wanted to commend the Rav on the way you the Rav handled the remark from one of the participants in the midst of the Shiur. You could have easily been flustered and lost your chain of thought…..Thank you so much for enriching so many lives with your remarkable words of wisdom!

‏ולכל העוסקים בצרכי ציבור באמונה הקדוש ברוך הוא ישלם שכרם…

Question for Rabbi YY
I so benefit from your teaching/ from exposure to your very ‘ be-ing.’ Even though our communication is ‘a fake relationship-of-sorts’ because we are not panim el panim/ face-to face.’ We are behind screens. As I listen to you/ your teaching, my ear picks up on a distinction seemingly being made in the use of your language. You surely know you are now speaking to ‘the multitudes’/ ‘the world’….. right? I Am Assuming your goal in life/ your very reason for existence is the same as my own. To draw others into ‘The Oneness Consciousness.’ That being said, why do you only refer to ‘the jews’? ‘Jews’ are the ones who legitimately claim God’s Promises. Might you define… [from your unique God-Given vantage point] just who IS a jew? Might we start by defining just what you mean by ‘a jewish soul’? What/ Who Is ‘a jew?” A ‘Righteous Person?’ A tzaddick? No. More than that. We Are ALL Unique Manifestations of the One God and Father of us all. We are all in some kind of ‘process’. Some might call it The Ever Expanding Consciousness of The Oneness of God. Eyn od Milvado. Never forget: God Is outside Time. So the question? Why do you presume to believe/ teach that G-d ‘s Promises are only true for ‘the Jews’? DEFINE JEW, please. As [Ben Gurion?] is alleged to have said: “Anyone crazy enough to call [himself/ herself] a jew IS one.

  A Jew is one born to a Jewish mother. The only exception is the case of the Jewish convert. No more, no less.
