Class Summary:
This class was presented on Tuesday, 11 Cheshvan, 5784, November 12, 2024, Parshas Vayera, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.
It is one of the most mysterious and potent verses in the Tanach. G-d speaks to Himself and challenges His desire to cover things up: “Now G-d had said, ‘Shall I hide (ham’chaseh ani) from Abraham what I am about to do?”
Why does G-d feel compelled to reveal His plan with Abraham? And why is God thinking of covering it up to begin with? And why does G-d’s choice to reveal His thoughts feel like a rejection of His desire to remain closed?
The class explores the view of the Chasam Sofer, urging us to live a life of giving and inspiring even at the expense of our “prophetic potential.” Then we explore the deeper interpretation of how deep the Divine soul, embodied by Abraham, is rooted in the core of G-d preceding and encouraging all creation.

Thank you Rabbi YY.
If i could just ask a question...
The Rabbi kept emphasising the importance of devleoping one's inner worth throughout many lectures. 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.
