What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi YY Jacobson’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
And I chores Y by Jacobson. It is a dream of mine. Anybody that works closely with me knows that he is a person that I always said if I could get in a chair, I just want to ask him some questions. And that's what this was. This was me sitting with him and asking him the hard-hitting questions that you guys have been asking me. The topic that we chose was choosing to stay together for the kids. Is that the right thing? Is that the wrong thing? We touched a little bit on emotional intimacy in relationships, how to develop that, what to do in the first year of marriage where it's the most difficult as a new couple. We also touched on a little bit about what to do when you want to get divorced but you don't want to affect your children. What that might look like for you. It was amazing. And I have to like process how I feel about it. But I feel good about it. I have to process like that that just happened and that is a thing because I don't know if you guys know when you have this like dream of something in your head that you hope for and then it actually happens. It's like wait was that real? Did that that actually happen? It did. It actually happened. Episode one. Um yeah, I hope to do more of these. I hope you guys will join me for the ride and I hope you guys enjoy this. Welcome to the first episode of Tor TMI, Torah
