Kedoshim/Behar: Self Care Is Not a Crime Its a Mitzvah

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.

Welcome everybody. I'm sorry for the traffic. Really? Okay. An accident on College Road. Okay. We're grateful for everybody who's here and everybody who's here virtually. So, thank you very much and welcome back after Yamtiff. May all of you, all of us have a healthy summer, a beautiful summer, blessed on all levels for you, your families, all your loved ones, and all of our people in the Holy Land and in the whole world. Okay, there's one source sheet. So, if you didn't take it yet, you could take it on the Beimma. It's one source sheet. Today's class is dedicated in the loving memory of Ben Shalom Davidid Winstone dedicated by all of his children with profound appreciation. May his soul continue to be an eternal source of blessing and light and inspiration and love for the entire family and for all of the Jewish people. And thank you very much for your friendship and your blessings and your heartfelt wishes. Sometimes tiny little small nuances could seem insignificant especially when somebody reads something superficially. But in terra even the order is precise and meticulous. Every detail, every nuance, even if it seems not very significant, sometimes contains layers and layers of profound messages and themes that can even be life-changing. In this class, B is Hashem, we're going to identify such a detail really just a change of order between the same mitzvah uttered twice, transcribed twice, just with a change of order, it would seem insignificant, but upon deeper sign upon deeper reflection, we see the profoundity of it. The title of today's class I think will be appreciated especially by many people here and that is self-care is not a crime. It's a mitzvah that's the title. Okay. Very good. You should give the class.
