  As a convert  coming from, a devout Cath. family, I iterated that idea decades ago.  I wanted to tell them (but I only said it in my heart ) first of all, that the honor they want to give to that guy is out of proportion to that which they owe HaKadosh Baruch Hu, but in all honesty they should see that every Jew deserves the same amount of respect in a righteous way, because the Jews were  given the awesome mandate to bring the physical world to its spiritual level.

  I also reprimand them and say that one of his sermons talked unjustly about the "good Samaritan",  who is presented as being more righteous than a Cohen because he loves his a gentile, neighbor as himself.  So my retort is,  " Where is the truth of the utterance also by that guy, "Whatever you do to my brothers it is as if you had done it to me." 

  Feel the impact of that statement on the cath. world who pretend to 'sacrifice' that piece of cracker over and over again throughout the milennia, all the while persecuting and punishing his brothers literally to death, with such great love to spread lies and hatred?!

  In your shiur of 27 Cheshvan you discuss the prophecy by Yitzhak that Edom/Rome will come to worship yoshke (yimakh shemo v'zikhro!).
  
  I took an in-depth look at the pesukim Bereshit 27:39-40 and found the name of yoshke (ישו) at skips of 26 ( yud of ויאמר , shin of מושבך , vav of ואת )
  
  This is amazing as you point to Bava Batra 75b that in the future the righteous will be called by the name of HaShem and that yoshke being (falsely) called HaShem is a forerunning to this.
  
  26 is the gematria of yud-hei-vav-hei, and here we see the name of yoshke in these two pesukim at skips of 26!
  
  Hope this was of interest.

  I was mesmerized and very inspired by this class! It was very mind-stretching and fundamental.
   1. I remember learning about the issur of a yid denying that he is  yid because it's an expression of denying chalila Hashem.
  Also the Rambam in hilchos avodah Zara.
  2. It also brings to mind the famous Chazal, Yisroel vioraiysa...

  3. Perhaps an additional concept is intended here: The tremendous heroism and tenacity to stay with Hashem through impossible situations in history, is above human.

  The shiur today was beyond any description… it too took our breaths away… for more than a few seconds…
  
  Rabbi Jacobson was just that shofar today, conveying to us with such crystal clarity the loftiness of the Yid…
  
  Awesome. May HKBH” grant Rabbi Jacobson the Koyach and wisdom to continue inspiring Klal Yisroel ad biyas goel.

  Everything is G-dly energy/light. But all creations have

  Varying layers of veils, curtains and blockages. 

  Inanimate matter has the most blockages.  Vegetation less. Animals still less. And people even less.

  When one can remove the veil, the curtain, the blockage then the G-dly light/energy shines unhindered.  

  And when it is so removed, one can say that a person is G-d, or more accurately, one can say that the G-dly light that was always there is shining unhindered.

  R. Moshe Dovid Valle is saying that Yitzchak actually

  Blessed Yakov (by mistake) to be the sole forbear of yidden as inheritors of Avraham his father and himself, but  (cursing?) Esav to be the sole forbear of of the nonjewish nations. 

  And that the nonjews (Esav) will make a yid (Yakov) to be their G-d and eventually Moshiach. 

  Astonishing that Yitzhchak actually intended it to be the other way around. (But for Rivka and disguises).

  Why did the time change to 12:45 ? 😕. I can only make it to the class in the morning at 9:30 or 10.  I know it's recorded but I like to hear it live.  Any chance to switch back to the earlier time ?
