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 the echo of what they're saying, we could still hear today. As people often say that Judaism or God, the religion or Torah or mitzvahs or whatever it is that they particularly define as uh a great challenge for them or a great trauma for them is so difficult because I was never taught that I was allowed to be me. In fact, there was no room for me. There was no me at all. There was no me at all. There was no me. I was never even I didn't even know that I am, that I exist or that my existence has any value. And uh not only that but for me to think that my existence had value would be a denial of God's existence. Huh? Yeah. I don't know. We'll have to try. Right. So, this is the big time of the Miragalam. Miragalam. Eretz Yisrael Yishuvah bitul destroys. It obliterates. It kills who wants it. But the Bal Hatanya says, the Alter Rebbe says that this was a lashon hara. As he puts it, Miragalam shakranim hayu. Miragalam was not saying the truth. They were saying a sheker. And for this he bring he brought the Zohar in parshas Bereishis where the Zohar says that it's really the other way around. What's the other way around? So, let's see if I did inside. Aval be emes ein okay. The line starts be emes ein okay. You see page 90 daf mem hey amud gimmel. Aval be emes ein okay. Be emes is not true. Why is it not true? Ki ad rabba, it's really the other way around. Ad rabba means the contrary. Ikar ha chiyus hu ha bitul.
