The 42 Journeys: Learning to Be Present in Life - Rabbi YY Jacobson

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

early pioneers and builders of the Muny Jewish community. He dedicated 60 years to educating and inspiring Jewish children and families here in Muny, New York. A survivor from Poland where he lost much of his family. He came here and built a family and a community and a beautiful school. And this class is dedicated in his loving memory and may his soul eternal soul be a continuous source of empowerment, pride, love, inspiration, wisdom, learning and dedication. Amen. Today's class is also dedicated in loving memory of Aviva Rahul Yata Bas Reb Ben on her first yard site. She is so missed by all dedicated by family especially on the first site when the soul experiences a special elevation and may her presence may her soul be a continuous source of spiritual love and empowerment and presence for all of her loved ones and all of the Jewish people. Amen. And thank you very very much. Today's and today we're going to discuss as always in the Torah every word is precise and sometimes you see what looks like I say in quotation marks a glitch a glitch in the way something is written but whenever you see such a glitch it means that it's inviting us to really uncover profound layers of depth in the opening of the second portion we read this week which is part mas there is such an exposite with a strange way of writing it and it opens us up to a very profound reflection. And it also connects to the fact these parishes mat and m and dorim are always read during the three weeks the three weeks from the 17th of Thomas till the 9th of when we commemorate and reflect on the story of the ba mikdash the exile the promise of redemption which we create and anticipate and look forward
