Welcome to my life's it has supplied episode 268. Good yontif tonight is red. Baize Thomas going into your Gmail Thomas the kagoda of the 3D Caribbean the year tougher a space alien arrested for what they called counter revolutionary activity, which was basically her bosses and have fought société de valois Des his strengthening and bolstering Teta and Yiddish kite in The country which was called my k/d moussaka bars of behind the Iron Curtain or medina. He has delivered often referred to it that country place where the bhava chakra bad was born. And of course with the rise of bolshevism and a new wave of anti-Semitism swept through Russia unprecedented even by the measures of anti-Semitism before to try to abolish every remnant of Jewish life in this country that had Some say over 10 million Jews and the 3D crab has single-handedly took upon himself the mission to defy that Zeta that decree that and Gwen against an entire Market entire government and tire super power. And every way possible to preserve Yiddish kite. In that country, there are many many stories that are told about the effects of the physical abuse mrs. Nefesh one famous of a famous. It's not so famous. It was actually always shrouded in mystery was in the year tougher age pay Bays. Which would be 1930 1922 the physical a book called the nine people in a very secret top secret meeting I made excuses, but it's more than a pact a blood pact that they would do everything possible to preserve and keep you described going whatever they can do build secret mcfist Chef meat Slaughter meet Kosher meat circumcised children underground fools, whatever it took. And this was of course as Grave danger to all of them. Most of them were killed. My grandfather was one of them my namesake he survived he was arrested and sent off to Siberia. But he survived the reason I mention it is not just on a personal note. It's also captured so much the climate of what it took mrs. Nefesh. And this was paid Bays some say it was Pig evil. But the Revenant optional Ahmad base, which would be from pay base 1922 to 1972 50 years later. Spoke about it the public And actually learned the lesson which will mention a moment. We'll discuss in a moment for each one of us. So in terms of these babies and then five years later, they would ultimately arrest the 3D collab and test valves even he sat in prison, which again was there's no due process. It was situations hard to describe mom is a combination of forces and they actually sentenced him to death. Come on Alex lat They knew he was the inspiration and the root and the source for the leadership of all of Chabad and all of Jesus Christ in Russia the time and therefore they thought they put him down they put down all of you described. But finally on gimel Thomas the third of Tom is the sentence was commuted to Exile in customer Ma and then ten days later nine ten days later due to the fact that the government over was closed or from office was closed to the holiday. So you'd get more Thomas was the fish. Will release but your base Thomas was when they ready commuted the entire sentence and he was freed to go home. Ultimately would leave that he would leave country the next year right after simplest Ada tough race based test which would just be Thomas oval talk about three months later three four months later. She's incredibly with his family to Poland and then began the next leg of his journey. Ultimately Coming to America in 1940, but this period in time was not just acted in history both the the harshness which existed also before in history, but this mysterious levers at the physical level would not budge would not compromise in any possible way and recognize the real battle and War and you think about rational free the kadapa standing up against a stalinist government where they completely they murdered millions and millions of people but if Lee they could ever sensed that it was not just a matter of numbers was a matter of spirit. A matter of quality over quantity and when he was threatened by the Jewish of all people the effect year the Jewish Communists many of them children and grandchildren of siddim when he was threatened by them. He stood with that Vigor and pride unwavering undaunted by their threats all the different stories and ultimately said when they said to him Rabbi, we will see who will prevail he said. Yes. We will see who were polled who will prevail when you look back. Jack who did prevail They were all shot and killed that government ultimately fell with causing much damage a much destruction, but the physical album came out from their rebuilt first in Europe and then came to America. And here we are. I wouldn't be doing this program. They wouldn't be thousands and thousands tens of thousands hundreds of thousands of thriving Jewish communities as if not for this mrs. Stuff is the stand that he took So today thank God we don't live in such times. We don't have the same challenges but still misses nefesh is not only sacrificing one's life physical life. It's giving away one's its dedication its total dedication. Self-sacrifice is sacrificing the self. For the higher cause and in that year tops genomic-based 1972 and was based on was never spoke a hero even from this crease is bliss which we think is a rare occasion only under such circumstances know that we all have to make such a crisis because we all have to make such a pact the blood pact that we commit with every ounce of our energy with every part of our lives without having to give away physical lives. Thank god without torture but total commitment. To spreading his kite and to reaching every possible Jew we can reach and for that matter to reach every non-jew with what with the message of God or the message of Taylor that were here on a mission in this world to transform the world to make it a deliberate act anymore home for God. You can do it in a very lackadaisical way in a very passive way almost optional you can do it with a passionate way. You can do it in the city Snapfish way. This is the first means it's total dedication a 24/7 commitment. Exactly as they did then then it came out of persecution. It came out of darkness and today even in the spirit of we're living in the comfort of Our Lives the missus services to get out of our comfort zone and have that same absolute commitment. So these base Thomas lesson is relevant today and more than ever the very different way today. As I said Prosperity leads off into apathy. Ayushman. You shouldn't believe it but you shouldn't believe it when you get fat or the fat. Land but even you begin to become going to kick you begin to Stacy begin to feel that you're you're it you're the center of the world. So we have our challenges of my city staffers today at this that's equivalent to that is based Thomas so though it is now potato fries pays I now we're on top of a giant option I in test. So we're talking about tough shit of these Pages Ian would be tough Sheena enzyme would have been 80 years pay 90 years. I'm sorry. So it's 92 years when it happened yet yet and completely different circumstances yet the mission and the lesson is the same the the based on the social media base is worth listening to it's on recording. You can also read it very powerful sick and relevance to our lives today. It connects also to the possible. Look Bullock was yet. Also another passion other chapter. We're building was commissioned by Bullock to do what to do exactly. What the Communists wanted to do the curse the Jews and to annihilate them Balaam of course was a prophet so you couldn't say what God did not tell him to say so instead of fulfilling Bulldogs wishes. He prophesized but the greatest blessings came out of his problem at a very low level yaakov. How good how kind how great or how beautiful are the tents of yak of Michigan is sakis, LOL and so on he even prophesizes the prophecy of Messiah comes at the mouth of building not out of the mouth of motion. Why because out of darkness comes a light that even kedusha holding this can never bring just like the great strength that came out of Youth based Thomas is that I've explained the many Seekers that it opened up the channels and option called Zion the year of the Six Day War. The rebels said that the hula the pretty clever taking a stand against such a powerful force against Holiness and Tara and mental create basic basic Humanity taking that stand and prevailing in this way the small way. Open the door postcard scenery opened up or pave the way for the Miracles and victories that would come later including the Six-Day War. Amazing. So we never know what our efforts do especially on a level of mysterious nefesh. It breaks through a resistance, which you don't always see immediately the impact but in time you see it. So when we make that commitment in our personal lives to our homes and our families to our children to ourselves to our community, wherever you're involved in that type of absolute commitment, sometimes you see quickly the results but sometimes the most of the results you don't see and you see it in time. You see that investment. Bears fruit and that fruit it creates tremendous change in the world and this you see in general Judaism though. He suffered greatly in time. What happened? We've prevailed we're here today standing to talk about it. Have you prices were paid but kshana ISM as they were oppressed. Can you bruh can hear behind the fridge in direct proportion to that? They blossomed a florist and they blossomed you see this out of your base times as well as the physical right rubber rights and tovarisch paste. In this famous letters which the debit would every year repeat and we'll explain and analyze the lacey boulevard go lock on his body. Not me. I myself ridiculous that my not I myself that if the god redeeming you based time as both call you slow meaning Comic-Con Vitara the Mitzvahs all those that love tailor-made suits and even bechet Me Slowly gonna even someone who considers himself that Jude being a Jew is just a nickname. Aim is just a this just happens to be a technicality. Even such a person was redeemed as it explains in a number of sixes one good one to look at is hookahs in the year tough. She mom has a very powerful speak on this topic many others with the rebbe explains how the goal there was not just for the free they could have been natural for a certain group, but for all Jews because it opened up the door when you have sesame seeds nervous and commitment in our Modern Age, it breaks the resistance that ultimately wherever we are we have it's easier to stand strong and be a proud Jew to stand strong and do our Didn't fulfill our mission not only not an Unapologetic but on the contrary to be stronger than all the influences around us. And the fact of the matter is the one with the more resolved is the one that prevails as the physical level. Ultimately prevailed So ba loc is the same story bilham's The Curse has become blessings and the greatest blessings of all. Now before we continue I want to just dedicate this program in the Merit of the rubbish. Look at vertical a Basia for liebe. May she be blessed with a complete and speedy recovery. As always let me erase this a tough moment for make sun few announcements. Every question. You asked will be addressed. You can propose and submit a question at a new site that we created dedicated to this entire program and its derivatives. It's called siddha supply.com. There you can anonymously post any question there many questions are coming in. So you may have to wait a little till I will respond to them, but they will be responded to you also can find there a bunch of archives of all the all the archives of the previous episodes not 267 episodes. As well as essays of the last five years of the essay contest of people of all walks of life submitting essays. That do exactly that bridge siddhis in addressing the Contemporary issues and challenges of our lives. So with that said, let me cross reference this topic of the you days with Kimmel Thomas and bulk to episode 73 123 169 and 218. When you go there those episodes which are all archived. As I said in the my life since up laughs it is supply.com. You can be the YouTube version has it all time stamps. Go directly to the topic with this is address bits mean that it is already the sixth year that we're doing. My life is applied. So you can imagine we spoken about these topics almost every year and that's the references that I'm referring to so see what I've said now is complementing what was said then and you find the full array of materials. I literally almost every subject including of course the timely subjects like we just spoke about tonight and tomorrow and Tuesday being you these gimbal Thomas the Cog Aguila. And partial bollock this week Shabbos will also be reversible Thomas. She was about Thomas need that because it's job is the fastest pushed off till Sunday. So next Sunday, we'll talk about that more in detail, but I mentioning it because it's coming to Shabbos as well and Shabbos itself transforms also a negative into a positive because your own fast. So what do you have the positive side of the of the fastest you have real male the sustenance in Cola made him tell you the transformation of these fast. Is the holidays and celebration? With that, let us go into few questions that were asked new questions. Some are completely new some are variations of previous questions as you shall see. Okay being that was wear in the summer months here in this Hemisphere and in Israel and this upper hemisphere. So here's a question related to that the Arab about bringing in. What is what is this? How bad costume regarding bringing in an early Shabbos? Which means even though shop is technically May begin. Sometimes I work in New York. This passion was around 806 was The Liston, so there are those that want to bring it in earlier, whether it's for children or for Community or different reasons that you can start a shop is early so dear. Jacobson I borrow Hashem have seven children from an infant age to 12. These late shop was some are stressful difficult and difficult the young kids under five obviously fall asleep before the Friday night meal the 5 7 9 and 11 year old all insist on staying up until I come home from school and start kid is close to 10 p.m. There is no there's often grumpiness fights between the kids sleeping his by the table and the kids are tired the next morning this puts stress on my wife. But no matter how hard she tries they will not go to sleep. It is so much easier in the winter when we make it has to 7 p.m. And have a lovely family meal with irritated nguni Max Edition stories. There are mignon mm, which do cabal Chavez around 6:30 p.m. Even in the summer. So the families can have a proper meal. Is this. Okay according to many hibachi? To bring a shop as early as it states in Shall Not Be Shaken all states. Clearly you can I have heard many people say that it is an our meaning our Chabad minich yet. I've also heard that the rubber Davin cables Shabbos early a few times what comes first family shall Embrace when it is according to a locker or minute Chabad. Thank you. Yes appear Los Angeles is very clear. You can do it earlier. I did not hear about the rabbit diving early. But if anybody has information, please pass it on to me. The tail is a table in the table set up and I'll share it in the next programs. There is an answer to the debited sack who's doing a Chabot own welcoming people to the community. They wanted to make an early Shabbos for the piggy ship against ship was called dreams. I'll committing an encounter with Chabad. The rebel said basically wrote. That's not the meaning of Market. Now that was taken to mean either meaning I'm welcoming 770 with a debit is that's not the meaning or a Chabad in general. So that's quite but either way that not necessarily reflect a situation where you talking about children and the circumstances that I was talking about a policy taxes bringing people. These are adults to set a policy do other Shoppers. It's not the custom by the Chabad which doesn't mean IPL lock. It's completely acceptable. It's not our custom means either the rebels custom or Chabad in general as I said both options, but regarding situations where let's say the children are Obvious is very difficult or Sullen bias issues. I have not seen from the rubber but I would say and I'm just maybe going on a little bit because I don't have a direct source and I'm stating. I don't have a source that based on certain circumstances. If you ask are all we ask how much Pia finish must be a will probably make an exception not as a matter of policy, but as a matter of convenience and practicality in under certain circumstances, which also explains why in some Kebab houses they do it because simply people wouldn't come or they couldn't come if was very very Late, this is not a matter of policy. It's a matter of practicality based on the a locker. But if you have the option like the devil said that sock especially in the rebels Dalai Lamas never said not to do it, which means I'm not accustomed here. Which we also of course leave the impression those that come that this is something how bad does she also has to be careful, especially when you're doing the rounded up his particular personal environment meaning 770 and so on if anybody has more information on this beyond what I've shared I'd be happy to share with the public. If you can please pass it on to me and where you can you do this again, as I said the supply.com you say there's a you'll see there's a form where you can submit anything. If you want to leave me your email address, you have to put it in there because Because if you don't it is as I said, it's completely Anonymous, excuse me. next question what will habad look like in 30 years? Hi Rabbit Jacobson. Thank you for your consistency to this program over the last few years. That itself is a lesson on a previous episode you made mention that the mission of combat cause it hasn't changed since gimel Thomas as I mentioned that two years two weeks ago connection to get more tomatoes. And of course many more times. What is your opinion on what chabad-lubavitch will look like in 30 years in light of the fact that there are more Lubavitch is attending college than ever before more the bar, which is n In the workforce than ever before and light of the fact that there are limited places to go and releases the rise of sea teen. Yjp. Friendship Circle has been phenomenal, but even these programs are not Limitless. So what will Chabad look like in 30 years Okay, it definitely piqued my interest when I heard them and I saw the title of the question. So let's begin from the beginning. We are believers that are calculate because I am sure you have a Michelle's coming any day any moment when you include including to the Picture into the equation that Abbas words there were literally on the threshold and we finished it between him and it's up to us to do to open our eyes he gives mango lasse come in the house and Kokomo can go on which took it puts the can apply We Ready polish the buttons as well. Then 30 years would be long after the gorilla comes that's how about hosted about every Jew should believe especially about hosted. So what will be with Chabad after Michelle comes it will Thrive and flourish because citizen status Exodus is Also, some is sheer whatever we have now from the Rebellion is a taste an appetizer time are crimes of who like we taste error Shabbos on Friday of the foods of Shabbos. So imagine what boxes would be like when Shabbos comes will be thriving and all over the world when we say mala is days are same command the Americas him. The entire world will be filled with Divine knowledge as the waters cover the sea or in the earlier expression of the rambam the same pay the chapter 12 of the end of mission at 8:00. De La Hoya a circle a Lamela December van The business of the world be nothing but knowing god and how do you know God he looks it sucks is Chabad will be Beyond any expectations on the teachers people who learn considers people who knocks it is from before the goal of comes. So that is the best the best scenario and what we hope for and we believe in every moment will be the case. So 30 years will be reunited with the debit United with other IBM will be reunited and the whole world will change Exodus Chabad will reign supreme. Him not as a movement not as am a flag at the altar that was didn't want a party as Tater status a shame. They really came crime that will teach people about God and that's when we learn exceed this old tile the day all day long and everything will be directed and guided so this is so carbon has a very bright future when you look at it that way if Cosmic Sullen as the rebel always says Michelle called Stack Up know how to talk Michelle delays for another day for another hour for a short while We have our work cut out. I don't want to say 30 years. It's not the way across to them not so on that's heard that ever speak with speak about Plumbing in plants for 30 years. But why did you ask about tomorrow? Whatever is tomorrow's 30 years. If not monoliths Lama. One of those lunge Shield doesn't come in 30 years. The work is cut out for us we have much to do continue to teach this to learn cities because that is exactly what said all social Messiah is. So whatever we're doing has to increase but we don't Like that, as I said I reiterate again, we're not thinking about 30 years down the road. Now. I know what the question is trying to say what will happen with the culture of about it. Michelle. God forbid doesn't come what will happen. So as I said Chabad is not a culture Chabad is a tailor movement. It's like asking a question after make sure they're being who passed away what will happen with the Tater. Well that with mistress what will happen the Jewish people. So look what happened is 3300 years later. I miss Laurel High titers necessities and he has some relation is he you've been a soldier Coliseum. God does not change and the Jewish people never God forbid will be annihilated and don't we have our challenges and there are plenty of challenges. There. Are we continue to be because we are standing on the shoulders of giants and was standing above all and Taylor admits is for Adam had vacant Prime Kanye But ultimately compassion allocation heinkel Kanye when you cleave to God the source of life you remain alive. So how bad is of course a hillock of theta? Look of Claudius at all. So therefore I'm not worried about Chabad if you're talking about the cultural elements cultural elements is not the discussion on consider supplies. It's not a discussion. That's more of a anthropological or sociological study. That's not really the scope of this discussion here that will live on and those that embrace it will live on with it. God forbid like it like that ever speaks about in general Jose that God forbid in some way compromise a relationship potato. Ultimately the users guide does not also last Last and they usually disappear or they return to it. So the same thing is with Chabad as far as Slickers and the forms of slices. As I said, the word is seven have billion people on the planet. There was a lot of Exodus has to be taught. So there we have a very big job ahead of us. And that's where the Messiah which was sure will come before then and has results of the pathology delays by day. We still have that work. That's the reproach that I've been trained how to respond to question of this of that nature next question naming a child when naming a child after a toddler grab it. Can we combine the name without over the layperson? Hello, Robert Jacobson. Thanks so much for the incredible work that you do. Is there an Indian to not combine the names of its other clever with that of a relatively poor somewhere naming your child. Thanks so much. So there's actually a specific explicit letter from that ever dated the 12th of Teva stuffs and test Zion, that would be 12th of tables. That's probably already the year 1956. And sprinted an English K. There's a tab has letters volume 12 page 215 We're he says clearly in the name of the food. They could have been not to mix the two the letter for the freezer grab. It says it also an explicit in a letter in English of the field. You could have a volume 9 page 214 not to mix kadish and fails how he calls it the holy and the mundane. In the lab is egos in volume 12 look also on page 185, which is also somewhat connected to this. So there's clearly it or not to mix the two since we're on the topic already. What's the source in general to named after its addict? So we have first of all there's others that have nothing has evolved gimel 15 3 talks about someone who converted Duty Hills influence on him questions of his the comfort and the commode and Brock and Shabbos or not. And he says he named him after hello. But there you could say is it could be because he was at sadly but also because he influenced him. There's a mind-meld maybe there's more my mate. My marks is from the physical level called amaravathi. Loser pays Neeson tough Richard invalid 5 6 9 4 that would be essentially 1934 when he says explicitly the Minnick to name children after its addict him. Now the gemara humor 38b talks the negative not to named after the show him after Wicked people. So the name should disappear. And because that affects the child so technically in context if you think about it, you can extrapolate from there perhaps that not the named after Russia, but after sadly because sacred sadek live rocket addicts name does perpetuate that would be an Indian even though it doesn't say it explicitly, but maybe you can derive it from the negative. Okay. I also want to refer you to episode 98 we're talking about the power of a name and the connection of a name to the shamisen someone with the names are about now if again if anybody has a more information on this topic or any topic that I've addressed, please share it for the benefit of the public and for all people. Okay next question. Moving along these are questions. As I said have come in the last few months. Some of them are more recent all depending on the topic which we choose every week what to group together. Shoot next question. Should we be concerned with secular values seeping into Chabad ideology. And here's the specifics in recent years. We have seen a slow but steady introduction of secular liberal values in the baggage Community taking the form of quote women's empowerment programs and quote blaming the system for personal failures and the like while all these ideas sound beautiful superficially as to the me all know what our stances on these issues are. Lullaby, which generally takes pride in being extroverted unintimidated and ready to Take On The World At. What point does our openness become self-destructive and essentially on the bondage as we know that ebbers approach was rarely head-on collision, but rather superficial acceptance while coyly redefining the idea to the point of compatibility with Hasidic values this tactic served as a useful tool in enabling non religious Jews to identify with tater without feeling ideologically attacked. The problem is the devil was a master of acceptance quote-unquote without compromising sitting values. We are not as talented and as much easier for us to lose ourselves in this game, no matter how much discussion as we think we have. Do you believe my concern has any legitimacy legitimacy to it? If you do do you see that as an ultimately as ultimately inevitable and a manifestation or we can only call you do this a day. Does The Descent of generations? Asthma snag Dish as that may sound and if you do believe it is inevitable at least in some ways. Is there anything we can do to slow down the process PS as about true this issue particularly concerns me because yudish guide provided a sense of ideological stability, which was very beautiful to me coming from a reformed wishy-washy background. The idea is the idea of Blurred Lines in the Chabad Community is very unnerving to me because God has always represented a certain steadfastness and stability rear stability rarely found in other Jewish communities. Allergies for the length of this letter but a response would be extremely appreciated if possible. Thank you. So first I refer you to episodes 24 25 and 181 where I talk about similar idea after take issue. First of all before responding with some of the tone of this like the worth coyly on the web. I read it and the word like this game as of like the rebels maneuvering or something that happens. I tell you to eat meaning at a the through and through if something is done. Done. It means this Taylor have killer never was not looking to be politically correct and not looking for ways to placate ideologically or not intimidate people who are secular and the same time that ever firmly believe that when you presented properly without compromise, it's very appealing. Of course, like the devil would say many times. You can't expect someone to suddenly do all 613 misses, but you tell them about six hundred and thirty minutes or so. There's no compromise in the language of the mishnah Avis. But he is all my cards on the table. You have to love everybody and there's no judgment and you accept everybody for who they are. Alma carve on the tail. You don't bring the tailored to them. You bring them to the Tater. Actually. This is a letter that I wrote to my grandfather who I mentioned earlier in the early 50s. He asked the Deb about way to do a faucet today when you meeting different types of Jews in the never brought this Duke. And that letter to him about that. So what how do you balance the two this not compromised? It's a crocodile Shania whole new civilization and qualitative. The hotel was brought was given in order to bring peace to the world not to fight not is shown a glaze that I would say to be sharp and rebuke and be angry and judgmental and condescending the trailer itself cells present me in a pleasant way because I am God is pleasant and all his pet paths and ways are Pleasant. So pleasant does that mean compromise Pleasant means you presented in a way that is comfortable that is relevant that's inspiring. That's not critical. So just want to put it in the right context now that approach answer your question that ever taught us and anyone listening or reading the rebels talks. This is exactly what he trained us to do. So to suggest that the only the Deborah could do it or none of us can do it. That's not correct. I personally know hundreds of people who do this very effectively no one's on the level of the debit, but But what is there are methods to this and if you see someone not doing it either compromising or being too harsh? In presenting it, you know, it's not going exactly in the deputies approached even a great moisture have been we learn in this week's Pasha. Actually, I'm tree in the last week's passion. Hookahs yesterday's passion that moisture hit the stone when the neighbors to Tom to speak to this town the first time he told him to hit the stone. So one of the lessons of citizens that even if someone's like a stone of Heart A Heart of Stone, I should say you don't hit it if the talk find the right words words from the heart enter the heart as the debits. Time and again, so the approach has the repertoire has continues to be the same approach the fact that values that are not habad or not Terror I should say second of Arc pin that is unfortunate fact to those that either do not hold onto the values that way they are or they don't understand what those values are. And frankly, there are things that we do learn from the world. But as the debit or us you learn away Karma by going Taman certain things not that they inform you this kite, but we can learn certain things in from Modern from for modern techniques and methods but only when it's happy hour loss and I'll be 60 this and I must be another of say so just as an aside, but of all we don't need to rely on that some people feel either the tailor is inadequate. God forbid that for that we have the response immed a cool mechanic who If it's a biblical meaning you find a void or it's empty. It's make a move. It's not the tail is missing the answer you are missing the answers. You have to dig deeper. Or it's all misunderstanding what the Taylor says? So all that we with all due respect everybody. There is no need to introduce other values into dating in Disguise. We have everything we need certain things. We learn our potato. Yes, we learned we learn it's a time bomb out there besides and Tanya that you can learn a very ashamed from things that are even Hoffman Salem and there's a soccer practice and so on that's not really the scope of our conversation. So those that really hold on to what the title says and other presented will have every all everything we need. So presentation continues to be in a sensitive way at the same time that it's you don't compromise the standards and it can be done. I'm not we all make our mistakes I tried to do it and I believe I've done so successfully to some extent and it's something that we can do and if you have questions you ask somebody to make sure you're on the right track. So no it's not inevitable that things have to seep in because if you stick to the sources, which is more important than ever now, it's precisely because the Deb is not here but gosh means for us to go. And check with him to stick to the sources of what that ever said and make sure that you're really authentic and keep maintaining the Integrity without any compromise of the sources is more vital than ever because that keeps us honest and keeps us grounded and make sure that it's all based on the tale of perspective. When you have that you can then translate it and present it in many different ways and I could talk for my own experience even to people who have no inkling and no idea what the Tate is. But only when you're grounded what you find is the two problems I mentioned either it's not grounded in Taylors, of course people will wander off from the Tater approach or it doesn't have the proper napkin am the sensitivity necessary to present it, which also is not really understand that Theta is just taking it either literally or presenting it and I didactic and dogmatic way and judgmental way. So the presence of The Taste may be right but the presentation is wrong and we need both we need Otis and kahlan which means consistent with what the data says but presented in a to ganglia and a comfortable and Had over made the fixable vocalist essay in a relevant way that people can relate to on their terms just like any good teacher teaches students doesn't just teach my all the students one cookie cutter model is able to present the idea connection RIPD RK educate the child according to his or her way and customize that doesn't mean compromise. It means customized take the idea in its full integrity and full truth and full truth and presented sometimes you to do that. You need example, you have to spoon-feed it step by. By step you can always teach the whole idea and that of course requires a special expertise. So if you can't do it yourself, ask others who know the depth is methodology. So I agree with you in completely. We don't need to be wishy-washy. We don't need to in any way be compromising and blurring lines, but for that you need to be somewhat grounded in the sources have that scholarship behind you and also the weight the presented in the most Pleasant and beautiful way which is of course, there are also taught us how to do. next question apathetic diving How can I address my apathy to devaney and make it a meaningful experience my question relates to diverting not being meaningful for me. There are two parts to my question. I'll address them one part of the time because they're somewhat separate number one. How can I address my apathy to darvany and make it a meaningful experience? I'm a husband father meaning I have what to Davin for yet. I find the diving experience on engaging and I'm completely disinterested whilst I David chakras daily mainly smash man. Sit up, I often will miss miniature. Might've I don't forget to dive in there most of the time I remember and yet I have no desire interest actually pick up the signal and Avenue when I do die when I attempt to do it in the briefest way possible often skipping to the main parts and reciting them quickly as if it is a burden. I must get through the same applies for benching so firstly as you may know part of this, my life is applied series because David is so fundamental and see this we've been talking about this. In a on-off way doing many many of the programs. So I want to just refer you to episodes 19 and 21 33 199 through 201 203 to 53 to 58 and many of those episodes. I addressed this question. It's a little it's in a way. It's a I don't know it's a lost art but it's art that many of us have not really been taught the art of David and I and Yeshiva and so on so there I discuss it some what the bottom line. Is a visual of a dish of Olives hateful. What is the service of the heart disease Dominique? So let's just put it in simple English. It's emoting. It's emotional intelligence is developing your ability to a moat with God when you learn Teta your understanding God. It's an intellectual experience understanding the scholarship. The God's mind what God wants of us. A boating is a whole different thing emoting means emoting with the vicinity. When moisture went into the Michigan from the additive kasama, he was like a an intimacy and intimacy is an emotional thing. So diving essentially is a process. of emoting and learning how to remote properly which also will help you in all areas of life because many of us play mind games were very good with cerebral but we flak emotional. So my suggestion this is taken from letters and different places is in dominating obviously to David the whole diving in this type of emotional connection may be difficult and beginning. So choose take a few prayers say the rest of it but choose a few prayers where you focus and concentrate and personalized whether it's my solar some of the Kenosha method whether it's Barack Obama, whether it's my Danny personal, In a find a personal lesson that relates to you personally and in a way, that's what you're communicating with your talking to God. How do I unite? How do I connect to God and bring divinity's Transcendence into my personal life and all David and you can do that without train. That's why you have to do it step-by-step. I've elaborate on this as I said in the other episodes at length, you have to appreciate what David in can offer you which is essentially a way of connecting to a deeper part of yourself your initial mechanical. The common mom is in a personal and emotional way not just in the cerebral can abstract way. There's much more that can be said but that would be how I would begin. Unfortunately. The apathy is coming from habit and routine seeing others do this and the way we grew up. So to change this you have to do something unique. So I would suggest whether chakras been come out of always the oven but for the fine one or two prayers that speak to you personally, maybe learn a little scissors before diving as is recommended and Focus on that not as a meditation and the conceptual way meaning a cerebral scholarly type of meditation but one that you personalize as you personalize it you can begin to have an expiry a pre she a tional actually maybe open up a part of you and then it won't be so apathetic. You may even look forward to it. Now, of course, this is requires work and this is just one suggestion of many. Okay. Most important thing to remember that three pillars upon which the world stands Taylor evading Middle School Sodom Taylor is study. Those who saw them is actions good deeds and prayer is evade evade the work on yourself. It could be developing your character character refinement and I want to turn traveling at a self-help activity. It's not that sense, but it's emotional growth and emotional connection to your neshama and touch em within the shaman derives from which in turn is a bit of amethyst and working on yourself if you Think of it that way it becomes the much less optional a much more exciting and even and something to look forward to the second question of this part is to what extent should espouse be involved comment on their Partners Dominic whilst I'm a pathetic the devotee my wife places a high value on it often. She will comment on my disengage the approach to diversity and expressed her disappointment. I find her involvement frustrating and not only does it not help motivate me to improve my dominating but rather I Theta irritation with a diving itself furthering my dislike for it my response to her is it's my relationship with God and thus should remain between the two of us. Thank you for addressing the above and providing guidance to assist with engaging in diverting a man at managing a spouse's input into darvany. So on this topic, I address this in episode 63 and 65 and yes, I would say a spouse whether it's a husband to a wife or a wife to a husband should not get involved in their partners and their spouses Dominique as you said because it could be a source of irritation and and especially if you don't see it motivating just to get the other just an axon one and it's not really reading anywhere well, Cause more irritation and like you write accurately now, I'm sure your spouse means. Well, she really appreciates with diving as wants to inspire you so I would recommend to a spouse like that a spouse should then find inspiring ways to do. So, if you can't best to leave it alone, you know, sometimes you inspire them in other ways your spouse and by effect by osmosis somebody in a distant an indirect way can actually have a very strong impact. Okay and more as I said in those episodes Assad's next question should look information. Okay, am I responsible to share sensitive information about a potential shit up with the other party? Here's the question. Hi, Robin Jacobson. First of all, I would like to thank you for your weekly classes. I often listen to find them inspiring. I was wondering if you can give me advice on a specific question. I was in a position where I mentioned went where I mentored a young adult and we became quite close. This person is a wonderful balmy this meaning wonderful emotional kind person. This seeking to grow and many and many many exceptional talents. However, this person unfortunately has many challenges which in turn affect their emotional health and relationship a while back something a while back something happened, which led me to consult a therapist to diagnose this person with BPD. Bipolar disorder I researched of the sort of Thoroughly and unfortunately believe this therapist was correct. This person has stopped communicating with me and refuses all contact. My question is I'm aware that this person is in Shadow him. Is it my responsibility to share this information with somebody who would be involved in this person should do him IE a much beer. So firstly I dress is very directly in episode 50 51 to 34 to 36 to 37 and 242. It's not an easy question to answer because I won handily flavorless it the Mixel which means we have to prevent we cannot allow someone to be hurt by someone some information. We may know this may hurt the other person and the other hand is your responsibility to go around and announce something that you know confidentially and you may not even be thousand percent short cetera may not even be a family member. So I would say you should talk to your own much beer, and I drove there may be ways to get the message not directly to the family necessary, but maybe time I spear Who's involved with that family so they can use the discretion because the question I addressed as well as let's say there's a person would be PD or other issues like that have to tell somebody up front. So this is the answer to that is always if it affect the personal effect the marriage they have to tell them the question is when they have to tell them not when they're ready engaged or close to being engaged or emotionally already connected has to be with ability that the person can walk away so that someone has to make that decision when to do so and if you take that in your hands you can be intervening. It's not your role to do so, so I would say it's important to look into it and see whom you can tell in a confidential discreet way who will Wisely when or when and if it should be said if necessary without hurting anybody this is a subtle matter and that's why it's case-by-case and more than that requires knowing more details. And as I said talking to the parties, I don't know your role. I don't know who you know and so on but not to ignore it completely on the other hand. Also be careful. It's not just go ahead and announce it and so on. I mean announced in the streets obviously, but even to the right people has to also be done with the right discretion and more on this is in those episodes that I referred. Let's do some follow up now. First of all follow up Kimmel Thomas two weeks ago the rabbi Jacobsen. Thank you very much for the weekly episode. They're absolutely beautiful in the previous episode discussing Jamal Thomas. This is episode 266. I realized you wouldn't mention the words. Ye murder he Lola. Hey Lola, I am hilah and Gil Thomas. It seemed like you were trying to avoid saying it by all means if I may ask. The reason for that. I listened also to other huh Rob is about gimel Thomas and they did mention it as a yam. Hey Lola. I'm just wondering out loud. What's the reason for it had slaughtered up? Okay, as I said, I always take that red questions and I appreciate the question. My answer is yes, I didn't mention it and to be very honest. It's very very personal reason and that is Gil. Thomas is a difficult day for me to talk about all together. I talk about it because as the physical therapist said it's hard to talk, but it's hard not to talk. It's harder. It's hard to talk, but it's harder to be silent rather because it's an important day that we have to address but it's a mysterious day and frankly, I would prefer not to talk about it, but I have to so I do now. To use terms. I'm not going to make a designation. It's my personal choice to avoid using any words that just by find difficult to express. Is it a game of the law and not the letter other bigger experts determine is it a yard site or not? Let others have terminal while this don't should not be misinterpreted as some type of childish or some type of crazy idea. It's a personal choice. So gimel Thomas is an expression many of us use simply because it's difficult to talk about such a sad day. And yes, we took the rabbit. Not here, but gosh me is and yes, the Expressions used on previous study came out of a museum. Hula your site stockist, Jamie Lula actually is a positive word. Sometimes you lose connected also to Celebration like a wedding SE dong - be I'm a little - be I just find it difficult to send that up. And that's why I didn't say it. This should not be interpreted one way or another. I'm not telling people what to do what not to do. It's my own personal choice. You got it, right? That's all I really can say about the matter, but it's not a it's not a shitter. A principal one way or the other is just my own personal preference. And I think I talked about the subject. I didn't need to use any words. So I use that and that's that's that's leave it at that. Okay, Padilla nefesh. So talked about the root of pigeon nefesh and I spoke about call of going to the Morrison machpelah doesn't say clearly pigeon nefesh there and yet someone wrote that she says he went to the key to the office to pray that he not become ensnared with the spies. That's correct to me. That is the very definition of opinion after Speedy enough which means to redeem a soul so by not being ensnared he's saying that exactly is Pigeon nefesh. It's interesting. By the way, the pigeon f is even though we ride the pan pigeon Evers was always a pigeon like pigeon like a pigeon been or pigeon swim is with by paying something is usually refers to the doctor. You give to the river and he should intervene on our behalf. But we also include within a note that we read pigeon never shown that she's saying pigeon f is what exactly would Call of Duty The color went to Cuba Elvis, but might have Camino what difference does it make between keeping the office and said Dickie More Alive. We know that the pan we submit will surely be received by the devil meaning we give them up and not just when you go to the oil before give me thumbs. We know that the Palm we submit will surely be received by the Reverend just as if he took it from our hand that's today. Although I heard a story. I believe it was was from one of the raskins trying to deliver a pigeon to the web in the year befores indices meaning 1952. Shoot and the rabbit home to visit his father. in law and the Royal household replied it is not our custom to Daven to To a chair and deliver took the pigeon bottom line you should care to you for all your efforts. Okay, some additional points. I just read but bottom line is yes, I would say call of and that sends the spirit of Peter just the language pigeon average does not use their but the idea. Yeah, you could say the ride from there. Okay. Now the follow-up next follow-up is polygamy. This was last week's episode 267. Hi, Robin Jacobson. Thank you for your inspiring speeches and Melbourne over gimel Thomas. Yes last week. I was in Melbourne for chemo Thomas Shabbos and few days before and after and Sydney and Melbourne from blinking and speaking. So this person is referring to my being there. So thank you for your inspiring speeches in Melbourne over gimel Thomas. I was exceptionally impressed that even though you're overseas you still recorded an episode of my life because it is supplied which was last Sunday. So I was in Melbourne. I recorded before hand judging by your usual backdrop of Sodom. It would seem that you recorded before you flew to Australia. That is real dedication. I'm very inspired by that at the Mall of America Melbourne. You spoke about the importance of being committed to see you Tim classes and I can see that you do exactly that. I hope to strengthen my own commitment to shooting based on your inspiration call a coveted. I have a follow-up question about polygamy. You mentioned that the Tailor's allowance of polygamy has to do with the splits spiritual significance of the possibility of having several McLoughlin several recipients for one must be R1. Transmitter one Zohar one Mass mail if I understood correctly. This was necessary for certain. Holy figures such as the office any more lies. Well, particularly our Yakov, but with the Advent of hate him that I've been aggression who put on a decree that there should no longer be polygamy. This is now discouraged and officer for ashkenazim. At least. I was pondering the fact that there is restriction on polygamy that a woman cannot marry more than one man gives rise to that gonna crisis which Source of pain and anguish for so many people. Unfortunately, how are we to understand this from a citizen perspective? Well, I figured I explain because a woman is the level of Macabre. The Kabul is a different mccubbin can be there can be one my speaker. I have several more calmly, but every McConnell has to have one must be here. And that's why you don't have the ability of and polygamy the other way around whatever it would be called. That's the bottom line the fact that it can cause a good crisis that's like saying just because some things can go wrong doesn't mean we're going to change the basic fundamentals of a stylus and how the way that God created the world and the laws of theta we have to address the issue of People. God forbid who leave a woman on not divorced and abandoned them. That's a horrible horrible thing in the Tate. I've spoken about this many times and clearly it abundant have to address that issue, but we're not going to go change a whole process of something. That's so fundamentally based. Make a woman not a woman for example make our NADA until something she's not because there's a crisis so basically don't take two wrongs. Don't make a right, basically. Thanks again. I keep up the great work after your visit a Melbourne. I've been encouraging people to subscribe to this program called tooth. Okay. Thank you. Now there's a there's a follow-up to anti-Semitism which goes back to episodes 251 252 263 and 265. It's as I've mentioned a number of times as a lot of good points here, even though I would not really immerse myself to this detail about because I found good points. I said, I'd read sections of it. So this is a person who committed himself to redress every type of anti-Semitism and methods that we can do to counter it and I give already my comments in those previous episodes, which I don't have to do it again. So let me read one more section of this long letter. And the future episodes I'll read other parts will finally get through it since it's quite long actually. But good. So after addressing the issue of anti-Semitism based on saying that Jews related to Communism the second major issue this fellow rights and many white Gentiles would put it in first place is the lawlessness and damages due to unrestricted illegal immigration and open borders. It's like the white supremacist who are against immigration including again Jews coming to this country over the years now that issues out there, but there was especially during World War II and before that. What wgs which is why Gentiles view illegal immigrants? Just a second. They view illegal immigrants as an immediate and dire threat to their well-being their outrage by crimes committed by illegals in that having. To support them with their tax dollars. They see wages stagnating due to the huge influx of Labor. They see the greatest country in modern times ascending into third world status. This is a major Agnes nefesh to wgs. Why Gentiles much anguish whose ancestors had sacrificed to build and defend America some well-known organizations, like the Hebrew immigrant Aid Society highest are viewed as Jewish organizations, even though they are liberal organizations whose mandate has changed dramatically over the decades these Asians are the Forefront of pushing for open boundaries. In addition. There are long lists of non Orthodox. Rabbis and rabbits. Robin needs who have publicly signed their names to proclamations calling for open borders. This call for open borders is based on a twisted and distorted interpretation of tikkun Olam, which is not the Torah definition of tikkun Olam and person adds a great link which explains this in detail. It is a major issue for wgs. Why Gentiles is that if God forbid the country spirals down into third world status socialism is great until you run out of other people's money as Margaret Thatcher said Jews have the option to run to Israel while wgs have nowhere to run. We as a community must publicly proclaim the true definition of tikkun Olam and unequivocally this a solar cell to disassociate ourselves from open borders. Okay? Well, you know what that's questionable. Some will say, we don't have to go to extreme certain open borders. Are are are And and and everything has its limits. There are government laws. My quite my point is always say with anti-Semitism. The best approach is the positive approach. I'm reading it because as I said this I find Value in it, but I don't know if it's open borders are not open borders going to make the difference of what our position anti-semites an anti-semite and just looking for an excuse. That doesn't mean you have to feed you have to always be discretionary. And and and yes, we could have the concept of Hesed of having open borders the country always always believed the snap open borders, but certain limited guidelines for allowing in others from other countries. So that's not the terrible thing and I wouldn't go with this extreme approach. Okay with that. Let us go on to the see this question of the week. Whose question is on chapter 15 and Tanya? In the beginning of the chapter that ever says mean he's out there Deb that a difference between a society can obtain the is that a Sadiq is an avid and a bendy could be an avid Ultra bespeaks there about what it says in the post income elasticity of what they were loyal for die says Eva delicate. The lotion is exactly like this. Let's go to Paris has evolved. Just a moment. The shop the Venetian been decided to be in Russia and over the Leaky Masala ever. They would suggest that it's a dick is not the same thing as evidently Kim. So layer for Dana and a Russia, is that whatever the but that's not what we're addressing right now. She explains the difference in over the leak came that sadek is Ava discussion. However, he's presently serving at sadly has already killed his yetzer Hara. She could say is that Eva - am he's a servant of God shame. I tell her like a hawk Amor am Ella he already became but right now he doesn't have to do any more work. So the concept of work is a been made after. So that's what evidently came is not a tactic. But sadly could is not even delicate necessarily. So the question this person is asking however, the good modern Giga which talks about this topic and brings that posted from Allah. He ignored it later in the chapter says we're talking about gig and Daffy. Let me just give it to you. Testament base nine be noted later said that says of what the value of I did survived Siddiqui Community know both our body and not of our they are both Saudi King memorial which seems to contradict the statement that it's a dick is a never not an idiot. You know, there is a sad day for you lie about that but there's a study that the fetish Avada that's when the good mother says it's highly reconciled with so interestingly. You may be aware of this maybe not now Deb has tiny that we have printed is My daughter buses the final version. There was a my daughter coming Tanya which means manuscripts that the first first version the first and there are alternative even was my Fastener spread that as well that got out in the year top Sherman basement my love my base that ever directed that they should publish the Cooter modern my daughter Karma Tanya the first my daughter with footnotes that compare it to us and there's differences quite a few for example entire Chapter 30 and chart type the 32 or only added in the final version of tiny. That the original my daughter come. So the question is that is asking is Delta lab actually answers it by due to come for some reason it took it out in the medulla bus in perak a loaf of all places. So if you look in chapter 1 when he talks about Saudi Benny Russia, he says there's the concept of a that Let me just open it up here here shame on muscle that someone that's called Nicholas addict who say my muslin is Harvey English. We say somebody has Ruby Mitzvahs and mutable is that same emotion is called the Saudis not actual tactic and that's why the tiny says that sadly grammar is actually sewn. It doesn't have any evaders and I say Taro has been killed two levels in that Saudi government and static Shana gamma. So then he goes on and says the Kane Hodder Marina bahiga, the a David vasilyeva the table It's a dick and more in this exact language that would it says of Giga that both the David and the way of our they are both called Siddiqui memoriam who ganking Shamu so David I but that have horrible armor. It's only a shame a muscle doesn't really mean that sadek. It's only in passing is only an expression is using for us say no Lamer. The gametes has a shame. I know some shade him. They're kosher people Mars Eakin potatoes Hashem pregnant and they hold onto Taylor Sasha. M. But it's not really the definition of exotic Comer. So he answers that question. He anticipates this in the medulla comma y so in other words when it says now what the valley of VOE die so position sadek and says the fact that it says that the commodity that attic is either is a videla Kim and why are they both? That's a dick of evidently Kim is not that sadek than Tonya that sadek that already has killed us yet. Sorrow doesn't have evaded to do anymore. He's an avid but not evidently kid. I think a more equal Society. Only shame I must hold out to them already. But once you have this concept in other places as well, I think in Taylor a damaged spot him I believe. Yeah, so I think my drag is Autumn crashes in Russia. So sometimes it's a dick means just simply it's a euphemism saying he's a righteous person and then deciding in the full sense of the word is what tiny explains. So the good model is using it in the looser sense. Like he says clearly in the chapter 1 of Tanya so Kiddush ingemar attacker, but that's the chatter. I'll tell Debra says in my daughter come. Okay, let's now do the three essays. So we're doing the essay contest 2019. Well do each essay the three Hebrew essays this time and all excellent essays. You could see people really invest in the work than them and Grand worthy reading. They're all posted at my life to this applied. Ethics is supply.com. You'll see the do essays are posted.
