Your Soul Craves Real Tranquility; That’s When Things Begin to Fall Apart This class was presented by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Tuesday, 19 Kislev, 5786, December 9, 2025, Parshas Vayeshev, at The Barn @ 84 Viola Rd. in Montebello, NY. The class explores the reason for the name of the parsha, "Vayeishev," which means "settling down," when the entire portion records the collapse of the first Jewish family. And how can one grasp the words of the Midrash and Rashi that Yaakov was supposedly punished for craving to enjoy tranquility in his life? It seems so cruel. The class is based on an address by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, forty years ago, Shabbos Vayeishev 5746 (1985). We discover the meaning of authentic serenity and how to achieve it in life. Sometimes, when your life and family begin to unravel, healing has begun. View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9827

What the World Needs Most from the Jewish People: What Would the Rebbe Say Today About Israel? "We've all seen his videos, heard his Torah, but nothing could prepare us for the larger-than-life Rabbi YY in person, in full force, and off the cuff. We had the opportunity to hear from Rabbi YY his thoughts on the world, politics, and the current state of worldwide Jewry - a topic that is sometimes overlooked. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording." To watch this and all other Kiddush Club podcasts: KiddushClubPodcast

Weekly Women's Class: This weekly women's class was presented on Tuesday, Parshas Vaera, 24 Teves, 5782, December 28, 2021, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The class explores an incredible discourse by the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the author of the Tanya, on how at the end of history before the coming of Moshiach, the most acute crass and filth mixed into the "wine" and the "silver" gets exposed, hence allowing the soul of Israel to shite in its pristine goodness and glory. The class explores the cover-up of child abusers in our communities for decades, claiming so many untold victims. This is the age of healing and transformation, which includes exposing the evil and putting an end to a culture of lies and cover-ups. Truth prevails.
