Monday Class: The Value of a Journey to Ecstasy is Only When It Prepares You to Come Back

For the Baal Shem Tov Staying Alive After Davening Was a Daily Miracle

1 hr 16 min

NEW!

Dedicated by Dina Dornbusch in memory of her dear grandmother Dina bat Mazal on the occasion of her yartzeit.

Class Summary:

This class was presented on Monday, 10 Cheshvan, 5784, November 11, 2024, Parshas Vayera, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.

This text based class is the fifth on the Maamar "Ki Ka'asher Hashamayim" (Torah Or Bereishis), exploring in depth the two states of longing and returning, Ratzo and Shuv, in one's life. We discover how the entire "ratzo" is really only a prep to the "shuv."

Thank you Rabbi YY.

If i could just ask a question...

The Rabbi kept emphasising the importance of devleoping one's inner worth throughout this series. When one is in touch with their true essense and understand their true worth, others cannot demean them with their words. The Rabbi also emphasised the importance of not being emotionally disconnected which can happen as a safety mechanism after one experienced hurt from others.

How does one know differenciate between having deep self-worth or being emotionally disconnected. When one suffers abuse or shame at the hands of others and does not experience deep emotional pain, this could be an indicarion of either great self-worth or terrible emotional disconnection.

We learn Toiro before davening...
We say brocho Noisen haToiro and say psukim right after.

Shuv is a seed and rotzo is a fruit. The seed is organically Incorporated into the fruit , while the purpose of the seed is to grow into the fruit. We want fruit, H' wants the seed which will become the fruit.
