Beautifully said! Sometimes we live in our own "prison" without realizing that. Thank you for these words!
Rabbi Jacobson
A GENIOUS
This is my truth! Thank you for the lift before the lighting. Great meeting you in Ramat Aviv!
Thank you
Thank you for that beautiful message.
I very much needed to hear this today. Thank you.
Thank you dear Rabbi, as a Catholic, I appreciate listening to the wisdom of the Rabbis as only they can give. Best to you and Israel always.
BH love it! Thank you!
Thank you, Rabbi, for sharing this important story & profound message/question!
Much too often, we imprison ourselves. Moreover, more often than not, we hold the key to the chain attached to a giant invisible ball of iron...
Peace be with you & yours Rabbi, happy Chanukkah!!
A lot to think about! Happy Chanuka!
Very moving message!! Wonderful question!! Thank you Rabbi for such an amazing 8 day journey! Tiskel a Mitzvot.
Happy Hanukkah 🕎
I, too, live with such fear of the outside world. My coping mechanisms seem to be set in stone at 62. Changing is scary. R" YY, your words touched me, and I am grateful. ב"ה
Deep.
THX YOU MS JAKOBSON
Brilliant!! Happy Chanuka Rabbi!
Todah reba, Rabbi!!!
Beautiful, Rabbi Jacobson. Todah! Zot Chanukah sameach!
Beautiful Rabbi. Todah
History repeats itself. When Moses took us out of Egypt. And there was no food a group of people went over to Moses crying and asked him.Why did he take us out of Egypt.
You would think it was from Hutspa! But really it was from this being scared of the uncertainty. And throughout history we have seen that time and time again. That was the story of Hanukkah that the weak wise men were the ones who stood up and woke up everybody from their slumber. And they WON!
May we always have our eyes and ears opened and be able to see Hashem's awesomeness! Peace for Jerusalem stay safe and healthy.
Thanks dear Rabbi!!!
This sounds like the reason why we didn't want to leave Egypt to go to Israel, leave the desert to go to Israel, to leave Germany to go to Israel, to leave Europe, Canada, U.S. ..........
This story reminds me so much of Brooks Hatlen, a character from the movie: "The Shawshank Redemption". Ain't that a kick in the head?
👍
If I had no fear I would become observant jewish.
❤️ It's not all or nothing... Observant jews have plenty of fears... Bring your fears with you.. They will share theirs.. You share yours.. 🔥 🌹
Try it you'll like it 💙🙏🤩gives life meaning. Structure love and fear are crucial aspects to life
What are you afraid of?
@@creditcardhelp8824 Being insufficient, falling short, being unable to curb egoism, being too confused.
Just choose one mitzvah. Start with that. Do it regularly and do it with joy. The next step will come naturally. Hashem will love your commitment and will guide you.

It s a bit of very weard sponsored here by UNWRA, freedom of choice is a mandate of Hashem: HOSTAGES BACK HOME NOW FREE 🕎LET THERE BE LIGHT🕎Chag Hanukah Sameaj Rabbi YY & Lekulam let there be light
Shabbat Shalom l hope you don’t mind me commenting but I felt that you could of told the story without saying what he did in detail and showing a photo of the man at the end your point would of still got through.
I can understand this man...indeed how coul he cope in a world he didn't know? But you didn't say *how* to release ourselves from our own prisons?
As a 14-15 yr old (not even 17 but literally a child) he wasnt tried as a juvenile????
He was 14 when he started work as a bellboy at the hotel, not when he committed the crime.
He was 17 when he committed the crime(s).
Could be he was close enough to "adulthood" to be punished as such, could be he was 18 by the time the sentence was handed down
@user-bl3tx7dy4b oh I hear. Thanks. I guess I missed that. Wasn't paying close enough attention
It is instituinalized.
אני מתפעל מהיכולת שלך לחבר בין תורה לחיים המודרניים.
After listening to this chanel i wonder if orthodox jews actually believe in God. Beacuse they mention alot of "divine" "energy" as like the source of everything. But we can see in Tanach that patriarchs actually Had a relationship with God, not energy or the universe or "divine light"
