  Microscopic /all inclusive detail

  For the benefit of anybody only listening without the text, @the 43:00 Minutes mark the rabbi says "כאילו ידוע" when the text actually says "כאינו ידוע"....

  Easy mistake to make

  It's just literally the exact opposite of what the text is trying to say.. ☺ 🎯..

  Amazing amazing class as usual ♥

  Dear Rabbi Jacobson Shlita,
  
  Yashar kochacha for all the wonderful shiurim ! Todah rabba meod .
  
  Please could I ask :
  
  If one's child threw a fig designated as Teruma of unknown colour into a mixture of 50 black and 50 white figs , so then according to Rabbi Akiva and halocha lemaaseh , it's bottel . Since in the gavra it's unknown , it's thus considered all figs bar one are mutter for the regular person to eat . But what if the child later says ' I remember now , it was definitely a white fig because .... ' or the child was meant to be away for a year and no communication but came back unexpectedly early and was able to reveal the colour etc , are all the figs now assur as there is no bittul or do we go with the 'initial thoughts'?
  
  Todah rabba ,
  
  Bekovod rav
  
  Ruth

  The sicha shows how thoughts can affect reality

  But, isnt it one's thoughts, one's kavana, one's intent (omg I'm starting to also use a string of  synonyms); the decisive factor in many instances already? Both in secular and  Jewish law, lehavdil, there is a huge difference between intentional murder and accidental homicide, between intentionally hitting and  harming another and doing so unintentionally and accidentally, etc., etc.? 

    The huge difference  turns only the innermost thoughts of  a  person, really unknown to anyone else and can only be guessed at by the decisor.

  What would be the halacha according to rav akiva if at the time it fell in he did not recognize the fig and later he recognized it and afterwards forgot again. Do we say that since at the time the taaroves was establsihed he did not know so it was batul and when he later recognized the fig it cannot be batul, but when he later forgets since at the time the taaroves was formed in his mind it was batul it reverts to that state or since there was at one point a metzius in the cheftza that it cannot be batul his mind can no longer make the bitul?

  Question for Rabbi YY

  Your thoughts create reality. But, ... What if one person thinks the teruma fig is one way, and a second person thinks the fig is another way that e contradictory.?

  Reality versus perspective or knowledge

  When the color blind  person  puts the red sefer onto the brown ones, the reality is  known to regular sighted people, but unknown to the color blind.

    When a teruma fig is mixed into any type of bunch of fish, same color or not, half and half or not  the reality which fig is teruma is known also  to Hashem. Only our deficient vision, perspective and knowledge prevents our knowing which fig is teruma. 

    So the teruma fig should have the same treatment as  the red sefer.

  Rabbi YY. What do you prefer? Flying around the world and giving speeches? Or, staying home in a room by yourself and zooming around?

      Rashi offers 2 answers.  According to the Rebbe, that means that Rashi was not 100% satisfied with either answer.

  if you are waiting for a hopefully good outcome to a medical issue, what is the right way to think while waiting for the results that can go either way.
