Hello,

Thank you for that. A few questions...

The 'authenticity' of individuals is defined by each unique combination of the sheva middos. Each person also contains to a degree each mida because each mida is actually 'sub-units' of oneness and are thus interconnected with one another.

1) According to that, any two individuals should be able to deeply connect and understand one another? (after all, we all come from the same source and all contain similar fragments of that source, just in varying proportions).

2) Further, you've previously taught that certain relationships that aren't healthy cannot always be resolved. But, unity means a connection to an original source. How then, can this be true?

3) A person should also be able to change their nature by tapping into the various aspects of these sheva middos?? Because we are part of "oneness"!

Thank you so much.

Thank you for making your lectures available. I always learn from them. I have a question, In regard to your discussion on the menorah, in the women's class of Behaaloscha, how did they make the flame point anywhere but up. Flames always point up due to gravity. Was it a miracle?

  Great question. The flame pointed up, but it was in the direction of the center of the menorah. Meaning the wick was pointing in that direction.

  Hi elishava,
  
  im not sure what you mean by saying "as a rebbe you got to research and find the answers no matter what"
  
  does rabbi Jacobson owe us anything ?
  
  the way I see it is that "we" the students got to have tremendous hakoras hatov to rabbi yy for all he does and enlighten us rather than complain and demand.
  
  if you can explain more what you meant I would appreciate it.
