Let the Music Ignite Your Soul:

Coronating the King: Bringing Hashem into the Most Shameful, Lonely Parts of Your Being: This class was presented on Tuesday, 23 Elul, 5785, September 16, 2025, Parshas Nitzavim, at The Barn @ 84 Viola Rd. in Montebello, NY. We explore the first question asked by G-d to Adam on the first Rosh Hashanah of history: Ayeka, where are you? He did not ask him why he sinned and ate from the tree of knowledge; he asked him: Why do you need to hide from me? Can you come out of your hiding place so we can enjoy the garden together? We analyze the inner fear and shame that paralyze so many of us, and deprive us of the ability to experience internal love and bliss. The coronation of Hashem on Rosh Hashanah is the invitation to bring infinite Divine acceptance into those very shameful and scary places. The life-changing experience of embracing all our parts and allowing the love to flow freely and uninhibitedly.

This class on the second chapter of the discourse discusses covenantal love vs. transactional love, and why people make a "covenant of love," inviting the connection to graduate to a space that is supra-rational. He discusses the love of David and Yonoson, and the love that Moshe engendered after the sin of the golden calf. We discuss the meaning of love that flows from your truest essence and becomes the most exquisite extension of your self-love.

The Pyramids vs. the Menorah: How Do I Know When to Trust a Leader?: This is the first of a series of text-based classes on Likkutei Torah, Maamar "Atem Nitzavim," a discourse said by the Alter Rebbe on Shabbos Parshas Nitzavim, 28 Elul, 5662/1802, and was presented by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Wednesday, 17 Elul, 5785, September 10, 2025, Parshas Ki Savo, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. This class explores the true meaning of unity, how on Rosh Hashanah all the sparks of all the souls return to their singular source. We explore how in holiness there is never an absolute hierarchy, only a functional one, because holiness recognizes the singular source of all and the interconnectedness of everyone and everything. The class also discusses the true meaning of leadership, how the true leader sees himself or herself merely as a channel, never hijacking the energy for themselves and their ego.

Hashem Wants Me to Coronate Him as My King; But What If I’m Not Interested?: This text-based class is the second of a two-part series on a historic Sicha (address) by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, given at the Farbrengen of Shabbos Parshas Shoftim, 7 Elul, 5748, August 20, 1988, published in Sefer Hasichos 5748 vol. 2. This class, exploring the essence of our relationship with Hashem, what it means to know Him in all your ways, what is the core of education, and why Elul is not desginated as a month of joy, was presented on Friday, 12 Elul, 5785, September 5, 2025, Parshas Ki Seitzei, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. For much of our lives, especially our struggles, there are no clear directives in Torah on how to deal with them. So we search for people to guide us all the time, to tell us what to do. But the real essence of Judaism is to learn how to trust yourself, your true innate oneness with Hashem, and truth. This address by the Rebbe is life-changing in how we see ourselves, our children, and our relationship with Hashem, and how we step away from a trauma-based Judaism to a redemptive consciousness.
