    Beautiful Shiur

    Beautiful shiur as usual. One tiny correction. There is no Fleishman's hotel. The hotel is called the St. Regis Hotel. It is located in Fleishmann's, New York. I worked there in the summer of 1980.

    In the beginning of this shiur could not figure out where you were going with this,  but by the ah-hah moment midway, realized  this shiur is a blueprint for life, and will hold it close forever. Thank you.

    If a person relies on God why does he suffer according to the rebbe's explanation of the borrower

    Well explained the concept in the parsha different from when I learned it in cheder when the obligation to know it was done with the threat of corporal punishment

    Very deep class, but also very healing. Initially we might need to “borrow” this wonderful and warm perspective we heard today. Hopefully with awareness we will be able to connect with the depth of our soul to this very healing idea of my unconditional connection with God. Through thick and thin He is always there with me.

    Only to then realize that this truth was always ours, we always owned it and knew it…
    We just needed to awake from our slumber, become present and notice… and then we can allow ourselves to let go, and melt in the Infinite Embrace of the Divine……
    Thank you so much

    The essential difference between a borrower and a watcher

    And their varying levels of responsibility,  is that the borrower ASKS the owner for the item, he wants to use it and asks for a favor, paid or unpaid. Conversely,  the watcher has no benefit and it is the owner who ASKS the watcher to watch it for the owner's benefit. 

    No one asked to be born. Hashem Himself decides that each and every Nechama descend at a particular time and place,, into a particular body, and to particular parents. 

    So it seems that because He is the initiator of the whole transaction, that it is for His benefit and therefore we are unpaid or paid watchers at most. We are never borrowers because we didn't ask to borrow the neshoma or the guf
