Has Your Innocence Been Broken? Do You Lack Consistency? Have Your Boundaries Been Compromised? Did You Lose Your Blueprint? Did Someone Desecrate Your Holiest Space?

1 hr 33 min

Class Summary:

This class was presented on Tuesday, 17 Tamuz, 5784, Parshas Pinchas, July 23, 2024, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.

The Mishnah (Taanis 4:6) relates: Five Things Happened to our ancestors on the 17th of Tammuz: 1) The tablets were broken. 2) The daily continuous offerings in the Temple ceased. 3) The city walls were breached. 4) Apustumus burned the Torah. 5) A graven image idol was placed in the Sanctuary by King Menashe.

What do these five calamities represent in the inner psyche of a human being?

    Any chance of getting a source for the Gemara and Rabeinu B'Chaya mentioned at 36:15 about the soul knowing the life's journey and agreeing?
