The Fat Cows and the Skinny Cows: Why Was Pharaoh Blown Away by Joseph? - Weekly Women's Class: This class was presented on Tuesday, 23 Kislev, 5785, December 24, 2024, Parshas Miketz, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, has two dreams. In the first, Pharaoh sees himself standing over the Nile River, and then, seven fat cows emerge from the river, followed by seven thin cows. The thin cows proceed to swallow the fat ones and yet remain just as thin as before. In his second dream, Pharaoh sees seven thin, shriveled ears of grain swallow seven fat ears of grain. None of the wise men of Egypt can offer Pharaoh a satisfactory interpretation of his dreams. Finally, Joseph is summoned from his dungeon; he interprets the dreams to mean that seven years of plenty, symbolized by the fat cows and fat grain, will be followed by seven years of hunger, reflected by the lean cows and the shriveled ears. The seven years of famine will be so powerful that they will "swallow up" and obliterate any trace of the years of plenty. Joseph then advises Pharaoh to prepare for the looming crisis by stockpiling food during the years of plenty and then rationing it out during the famine.Pharaoh is blown away by Joseph's vision. "Can there be another person who has G-d's spirit in him as this man does?" he asks his advisors.He appoints Joseph viceroy of Egypt, and the rest is history. A number of blatant questions instantly emerge in this story: 1) Why did Joseph proceed to give Pharaoh unsolicited advice on how to deal with the impending famine? Pharaoh summoned Joseph, a slave, from the dungeon to interpret his dreams, not to become the advisor to the king!? 2) Pharaoh was amazed by Joseph's interpretation of the dreams, which none of his own wise men could conceive. But Joseph's interpretation seems simple and obvious: When are cows fat? When there is lots of food. When are they lean? When there's no food. Why could no one else conceive of the same interpretation? And why was Pharaoh so impressed? 3) Pharaoh was also thunderstruck by Joseph's solution to the problem of the famine. But one need not be a rocket scientist to suggest that if you have seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine, you should store food during the time of plenty for the time of hunger. What's the genius in Joseph's advice? This class will explain and highlight Joseph’s true brilliance and demonstrate how it remains as relevant as ever to each of us struggling to survive our own private ‘years of famine.’ We all experience in our own lives cycles of plenty and cycles of famine. There are times when things are going very well: We are healthy, successful, and comfortable. And there are times of recession and challenges when curveballs come our way. Joseph taught us how to prepare in our years of plenty for our years of famine.

There Was No One in the World to Hold Your Hand and Tell You that You Are Not Guilty. How Do You Recover from This? Yosef’s Secret - Weekly Women's Class: This class was presented on Tuesday, 7 Teves, 5785, January 7, 2025, Parshas Vayechi, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. We all carry pain in our hearts. Sometimes it's an old wound that won't let go, sometimes a betrayal that's hard to forget, and sometimes a deep feeling of loneliness that no one understands. This class reveals the deep secret of Yosef—the person who went through the greatest darkness and turned it into light. How did a boy who lost his mother at the age of 8, was thrown into a pit full of snakes by his brothers, sold into slavery, accused of a false conspiracy, and spent 12 years in prison – how did he manage not only to survive but to love with so much joyful presence, happiness, and serenity? How did he remain sensitive and open rather than become cynical and stone-like? If you are dealing with: • Deep mental pain • Traumas from the past • Emotional crises • Loneliness and disconnection • An injury that is hard to forget • A feeling of helplessness This class will show you how to get out of the darkness andinto the light, reconnect with the joy of life, and discover the divine power that lies within us.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9550

How Vashti Triggered Her Husband’s Core-Wound; How Esther Used It to Save a World - Weekly Women's Class: This class was presented on Tuesday, 4 Adar, 5785, March 4, 2025, Parshas Tetzaveh, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The lecture explores the first chapter of the Book of Esther. Why did Vashti trigger such anger in the Persian King? Why does the order of her title keep changing, as well as the musical notes relating to her? We also learn to observe the genius of Queen Esther, who brilliantly played Haman's ego against Achashverosh's paranoia. The lesson we learn about the courage of Esther and the power to look inward at our deepest triggers and core-wounds, and how when darkness is exposed it loses its power.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9608

For the Cosmic Conductor, Every Note Is Indispensable: Reconnecting to Your Own Life-Force - Weekly Women's Class: This class was presented on Tuesday, 25 Adar, 5785, March 25, 2025, Parshas Pekudei, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. Why did Moshe feel compelled to account for every coin he received? Did people think Moses packed away some of the cash to buy real estate in Saudi Arabia or purchase his private jet? Even if it is important to know that Moses gave an accounting to teach us transparency, the Torah could have simply said that Moses gave an accounting of all the gold, silver, and copper contributed to the Sanctuary project. The theme of the entire second book of the Torah, Shemos, is dedicated to nation-building. In Genesis, we are referred to as “benei Yisroel,” the children of Israel; we are a family, and a fragmented one as such. It is only in Exodus, when we are first called an “Am,” a nation. This is the pervading thread of the entire book of Shemos. While the narratives of Genesis focus on individuals—Adam, Eve, the snake, Cain, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Lot, Hagar, Ishmael, Isaac, Rebecca, Esau, Jacob, Rachel, Leah, Judah, Joseph etc.—Exodus is a book about a people, a nation. Individuals are mentioned, of course, but all these names are discussed as representatives of a nation or assisting the formation of a nation. Shemos is about the collective, not the individual. Here comes a profound challenge. Does nation-building, by definition, come at the expense of the individual? Sure, you can’t have a nation without individuals joining together, but perhaps the value of the individual is only insofar as he or she becomes a part of the whole. The value of my “I” is only because it contributes to the “We.” The class explored the profound need for each of us to be seen, and to be able to truly see others, especially our children and students, see them in their full power and presence.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9635

Solar Faith Vs.

This text-based class explores aChassidic discourse by Rabbi Shmuel Schneerson, the fourth Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Rebbe Maharash, L'Havin Inyan Rosh Chodesh, presented on Shabbos Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan, 5640, October 18, 1879. The discourse explains why the holiday of Rosh Chodesh was given primarily to women. We explore the reason the Jews created the Golden Calf, and the unique gifts of the feminine—its ability to embody the oneness of G-d in a visceral way, rather than in a sublime, aloof way.

When it comes to food and other pleasures and necessities, we must master the art of discipline and self-control. When it comes to relationships, we are capable of living with an open, confident heart. View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9679

Connection with G-d Does Not Mean I’m Not Triggered; It Means I Know Who I Am and Assume Ownership of the Direction of My Life This class was presented on Tuesday, 22 Iyar, 5785, May 20, 2025, Parshas Behar-Bechukosai, at The Barn @ 84 Viola Rd. in Montebello, NY. The class explores three forms of acquisitions in Jewish law, reflecting three paths in our service of G-d. Selling the tree, selling the future fruits of the tree, and selling a tree for its fruits. Generally it is assumed that there are two moral paths through life. There is the sure, tranquil path of the perfectly righteous person who has succeeded in remaking his very character and personality—a path that few can aspire to and even fewer achieve. And there is the path of the imperfect soul whose life is an endless battle—a battle in which defeat is always a possibility and, in the long run, a statistical inevitability. A path which runs along the edge of a moral precipice, in which the slightest misstep or lapse in vigilance sends one hurtling into the abyss. Is there no other way? Is there no middle ground between utter perfection and perpetual self-doubt? Is there no way to gain control over one’s life short of remaking one’s inner self? Such was the moral landscape of man until Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi wrote the Tanya and introduced us to the "banuni," “the intermediate man.” View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9691

What Was the Rebbe’s Understanding of Messianism and Zionism? In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, David Bashevkin talks to renowned Chabad speaker Rabbi YY Jacobson about Chassidus, Chabad, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe. In honor the Rebbe’s 30th yahrtzeit, Rabbi YY helps us explore the purpose of Creation, our role in the world, and how the soul of the universe relates to the soul of the human being. In this episode we discuss: —What is Hasidic thought, and what differentiates it from Kabbalah? —How did Jewish emancipation and integration lead to Jews turning inward and focusing on the soul and God’s Presence in the world? —What was the Rebbe’s understanding of messianism and Zionism, and what might it mean for how we live our lives? Tune in to hear a conversation about how the Rebbe brought oneness to the Jewish People during some of our most turbulent times.

When the False Moshiach Came to the Baal Shem Tov for Healing; When Unkelus Raised Titus, Baala, and Yeshu from the Grave This class was presented on Tuesday, 4 Av, 5785, July 29, 2025, Parshas Devarim, at a new location, The Barn @ 84 Viola Rd. in Montebello, NY. The class tells the story of Unkelus, who raised three people from the grave: Titus, Balaam, and Yeshu. What the Maharal and Reb Tzadok explain about the core of the Jewish soul, and how we must never confuse our blockages with our essence. We explain the downfall of Yeshu and Shabti Tzvi, and the incredible story of the false Messiah coming to the Baal Shem Tov for spiritual healing. We discuss how to view our struggling children and students who may be engulfed in confusion and pain. View Source Sheets: http://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9740

Can You Communicate Without Defensiveness? The Incredible Lesson of Shimon Hamsoni and Rabbe Akiva This class was presented on Tuesday, 11 Av, 5785, August 5, 2025, Parshas Vaeschanan, at The Barn in Montebello, NY. There is a story in the Talmud, in which Shimon the Imsonite retracts his entire theory that the term "Es" indicates the inclusion of another person or item, due to a single verse in this week’s portion, “You shall fear -- Es -- the Lord your G-d.” How can we be in awe of anybody but G-d? Yet his student, Rabbi Akiva, rescues his teacher’s refuted theory. The obvious question is what did Rabbi Akiva discover which Shimon did not? Shimon could not entertain the notion of including anything in the commandment to fear G-d. For him, such a proposition would be blasphemy. Why did Rabbi Akiva, then, not have a problem of adding Torah scholars to the mitzvah of fearing G-d? How is it that for what Shimon was blasphemy was for Rabbi Akiva perfectly acceptable, and even a mitzvah?! You were selected to win the Nobel Prize for your contribution to physics. You received your tickets to Norway to attend the lavish ceremony. You were featured on the cover of Time magazine, and have been interviewed by hundreds of journals and networks. Minutes after you received the call that the Nobel Committee had chosen you from 40 possible candidates, you went from being an anonymous physicist spending the last 45 years in a laboratory to becoming a world-class scientist whose name will be immortalized in the annals of scientific innovation and discovery. You become a household name. The world is buzzing with your praise. And then… the unthinkable happens. Hours before you go to the airport to fly to Norway, you discover a subtle mistake in one of your 20,000 equations. It is a mistake that no eye has perceived and perhaps will not be perceived for many years. But it is a mistake. Your calculation is erroneous. You have refuted your discovery. You now have a choice to make. Will you allow the “small truth” to destroy your eternal glory? What would you do? It is such a story that the Talmud is addressing. If only we can internalize this type of integrity our lives can be transformed. View Source Sheets: http://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9744

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

Keynote Lecture by Rabbi YY Jacobson: Sunday, 2Iyar, April 23, Rabbi YY addressed anevent which was at the Beis Yaakov High School in Boro Park on 15th Avenue and 45th Streetto celebrate the Siyum Harambam. The year was 1984, when the Lubavitcher Rebbe, ztl, introduced a revolutionary project which would change the world. He sets his sights on the possibility of Klal Yisroel mastering the Rambams Mishneh Torah by instituting an annual cycle. Gedolei Yisroel from every denomination lauded the program throughout the years, seeing in it the potential for every Yid to master the entirety of Torah Shebal Peh which is covered in these fourteen volumes in a clear, concise, and organized style. Since that time, tens of thousands of Yidden throughout the world learn the daily Rambambringing the blessing of Torah into their lives. The one-perek-a-day track completes the Rambam every three years, while those who learn three perakim a day complete the entire Rambam every year. This sunday marks the beginning of the 43rd cycle of the 3-perek cycle, and the 15th cycle of the one-perek cycleas well as the siyum of the previous cycle.
