I loved your shiur on Behaaloscha as to why Moshe wanted to die.
He was a leader in the true sense.
Enjoy this article.
There’s a problem with following the crowd.
The crowd is scared, which is why it finds safety in numbers.
The crowd is ignorant, which is why it refuses to think for itself.
The crowd is compliant, pulling anyone into line who gets too ambitious.
The crowd is average, excellence is for individuals not sheep.
The crowd is unremarkable, with everyone merging together in one big ugly mass.
So don’t follow the crowd, they won’t take you where you need to go to make a difference in the world.
Be courageous and take the risks required to make the most out of life.
Keep learning, growing and developing new skills for the rest of your days.
Be innovative, creative and entrepreneurial.
Set high expectations for you own work and keep yourself accountable for delivering phenomenal outcomes.
And be remarkable, remembering that you have a unique set of skills, perspectives and ideas that enable you to leave an indelible print on the world around you.
Max Lucado once said, “A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.”
It’s time to leave the crowd behind.
It’s time to forge a path to greatness!

A prophet is a person who claims to have received a message or revelation from a supernatural being (often, a god). The religions which are based on those revelations are called revealed religions. Prophets are regarded as fully human, but divinely inspired, unlike the Christian messiah, who is regarded as a human manifestation of God. The basic concept of prophecy is that the prophet is speaking for the supernatural; but often enough this involves revealing what is going to happen so that prophecy has acquired a secondary meaning of prediction by supernatural means.

Hello Rabbi Y Y Jacobson ,
You know the difference between your Website and day-to-day reality?
Every time when something bad happens in the world I see it as "that's it! It's so bad, so horrible, so disgusting, and so ugly that nothing worse be possible! It’s hard to imagine anything worse than what had happened. Alas! Time and again reality sinks into more and more darkness and time and again we are proved that there might be even darker. Let our discovery of world darkness and black holes be stopped once and forever!
Quite opposite with your sheurim and website in general: it always brings WOW! It’s so bright, so beautiful, so brilliant and so uplifted that nothing better is possible, and UVALE! You and your team (not sure about your thech support always up to that level) surprise us again and again with something even greater.
Let it be for as long as we need it, "a beaconing light at the end of the darkest of tunnels"!
Thank you very much!

I made a mistake in the story I shared at the end of class. When Joseph Cabiliv-today a successful real estate developer-regained consciousness in theRambam Hospital in Haifa, he remembered nothing of the circumstances that had brought him there. He felt an excruciating pain in his legs. The discovery that followed was far more horrendous: glancing under the sheet, he saw that both his legs had been amputated, the right leg at the knee, the left at mid-thigh.
The day before, Joseph, who was serving on reserve duty in Zahal (the Israeli Defense Forces), was patrolling the Golan Heights with several other soldiers when their jeep hit an old Syrian land mine. Two of his comrades were killed on the spot. Another three suffered serious injury. Joseph's legs were so severely crushed that the doctors had no choice but to amputate them.
