Class Summary:

Rabbi YY Jacobson presented this keynote lecture at the Kesher Nafshi Shabbaton which was at the Raleigh hotel, in South Falsburg, NY, Friday 27 Sivan, 5783, June 16, 2023.

On June 9, 2023, four children were found in the Amazon jungle, after being stranded there for forty days following a plain crash. How did they survive the harrowing ordeal? Rabbi YY uses this story as a metaphor to explain how we need to help ourselves and our loved ones survive in our own jungles. We need parents who believe in us and will never give up the connection; we need to know what works and what is ineffective; we need to understand trauma and dissociation; and we must have support.

Dear Rabbi YY

I wanted to express my deep gratitude for this shiur. Your words moved me to tears as I felt a powerful connection to the pain and struggles you addressed. Your perspective and answers have been a source of enlightenment that I have been long searching for.

Despite the deep hurt that the system has caused me, I am committed to healing. They cannot stop my Neshama from spreading my bright light in the world! Your insights validated me in ways that I gave up on believing another person can. You have sparked a renewed sense of hope and determination within me.
I will cherish your words as I continue on my journey.

With gratitude,A sincere Jew, A lone fighter, An anti lemel- definition: sheep that just follow the crowd without thinking.

Would you know where I can find more chizuk on this topic?

Hello again. You talked about trauma and rape. Do you think that every child has difficulties because of trauma? And besides, I'm very interested in knowing your opinion. Why do you think it's important to publish the abuser? First of all, I don't need to tell you what happened to the writer in Bnei Brak, that because of the publication, first the perpetrator committed suicide, then the victim committed suicide, and there is a stain on the family for life. Why is it not possible to just take care of the soul of the person who hurt secretly, then ask for forgiveness and take care of the victim secretly, and everything will fall into place peacefully. And if there is no remedy for the victim, then surely what's the point of publishing it? Do you think there is no remedy for those who are in this place? And why does a person come to such a situation?
