- Basics of Emunah #30: What Does Afterlife Look Like? What Happens to the Souls of Our Loved Ones Who Depart?
This lecture was delivered at the National Jewish Retreat of JLI, in the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, Washington, D.C. on Thursday, August 15, 2019 (14 Av, 5779). It is #30 of the Emunah Series by Rabbi YY Jacobson, all to be found on www.TheYeshiva.net
Wow thank you Rabbi. What a beautiful massage
I just want to tell you I am not Jewish but your lectures have helped me so much I cannot put it into words.
Your understanding of trauma and the raw feelings we face supercedes all the medical professionals I have cone across.
I am finally seeing some healing taking place.
So true. They have helped me so much too
Thank you rabbi Jacobson great lecture! You always end on a positive note just love it!😊❤
Wow! So profound, I felt the judgement of God, As I wept, His mercy filled me. His Compassion caused me to wept from a deep place inside. Thank you Rabbi for your instructions and directions. He showed up for no other reason than to love me. I accept God. It's a very different message. I understand from within, Not from my head. It's strange to me, yet peaceful.
Thank you, so much, Rabbi, for sharing your profound wisdom.
Rabbi Jacobson, I think you saved my life. May G-d preserve you.
Thanks for watching! We are so glad to hear!
Thank you Rabbi. I love your lessons.
What a warm, funny, wise and loving talk about death. I truly treasure it, Rabbi. Thank you for sharing who you are with us all on this topic, common to us all, in such an engaging way today.
The rabbi of my youth, David Edelman, of blessed memory, would be thrilled to know that I listen to you. Best wishes to you for a long and healthy life. The director of my kids Hebrew school was Debbie Enelow, a direct descendent of the Bal Shentov. Zai Gezunt YY!
Deep wisdom!
Amen! Baruch Hashem and Moshiach now, G-d willing! :)
superb
❤❤❤❤
Dear Rabbi YY...we gain very much from your amaizing classes, but... WHY WHY do you not have classes with hebrew subtitles?? my husband really would like to listen too but finds it a little difficult because of the language barrier, is it possible to add hebrew subs?
Ezekiel 31:16I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
For the last 3 years I have spent most of my time learning about Jews wisdom. And it really have helped me to come closer to God. No doubt about it. Then I started to listening old testament... today I have listen upto 2and samuel. Not even single page is there without blood shedding and brutal killing. Is this the Torah Moses received from God that I am reading. When I listen to you it's a different story... but this book I am listening..oh God. What will be the future plan of Israel if you are going to follow this book. Just killing every human beings as have done by David and others. OR injecting spirituality as you are doing
Very beautiful but what about who ever does x y or z the soul will be cut off from it's people?

Shalom your analogy of electricity with soul is very good albeit this would be accurate if there is only one soul in the body of the being! Wouldn’t you agree that those that are completely dark in all there being are disconnected from that infinite holy electricity it’s channel is wired to another realm of life otherwise how could these atrocities atrocious people exist with the electrical conductivity to the creator Torah so to speak no one being could possibly engage much less commit any harm to anything! Beings are born and blessed with the connection but darkness in some push the creator’s electricity out little by little remember ABBA is a gentleman and will allow free will but the consequences are real and horrific if the being elects to follow darkness! Therefore the darkness hell is real! It is the disconnect from holy electricity so to speak!
🖤
Only theories, any real examples?
45 minutes through. The only person can blame is themselves
So basically we spend our whole life trying to know and worship god, but the moment we die we start knowing that he exists! and shame comes. So shame is the so called hell
Im afraid hell is far worse than shame watch a shiur on gehinom by rabbi yaron
@Toby Henderson You realize you have to listen to the oral torah too, and it says that in yhe written torah, if you a description of hell watch rabbi yaron reuven gehinom
@Toby Henderson I think Alot of his material comes from the book the rachit chuchmah.

Dear rabbi. Your metaphor of hell as a washing machine is already mentioned in chazal in מסכת שבת as far as i remember the second last chapter. Problem is you stop short when it comes to describing the "nature" of the pain, because although your sock does feel 'physical' pain in the washing machine (or at least it would, if it had a soul like us), you decided that there's only 'spiritual' punishments in hell, such as shame, unlike in the metaphor with the sock: well, i was expecting that from a libavitcher, they always make that mistake. But where they get it from is beyond me; on what basis did they decide that there are no "physical" punishments in hell - only emotional, against the most simple translation of what our sages say, and what the tenach says in the verses which chazal explain allude to hell?! And on what basis do they decide that burning in insanely hot temperatures, or freezing in cold ice, that chazal mention in the midrash - is just a metaphor for "spiritual" punishments such as "Shame"?
As far as i remember the gemara in מסכת שבת in פרק כירה says That The hot springs of טבריה are heated because they pass through (one of) the gates of hell. Now tell me, how can that be a mere metaphor, when it actually affects the simple halacha? As is seen from that discussion in the gemara? And what about that gemara in מסכת סנהדרין where someone was shown the place where the earth swallowed up קרח'ס clan and they fell into hell, and he put some wet wool or something there and the heat of the fire completely dried it out and burnt it, or something like that? Is that 'metaphorical' too?!
(as an aside note, we know that hell (at least גהינם התחתון) is actually the magma that is deep in the planet 🌏 under your feet, that sustains the world, and sometimes erupts as lava in violent 🌋 volcanic eruptions. Because we see from chazal in many places (for example the sources i just gave) that hell is in the earth 🌍 under our feet. And we don't see any other hot stuff, under our feet, except for that liquid rock stuff that's so hot that it's molten and flows!).
And what are you going to do with all the out of body experiences of people who report heaven and hell, saying these are real 'physical' concepts, and especially about hell, that the pains there are "physical as well as spiritual - such as shame and terror"? Are they all wrong? As a matter of fact, i myself have memories from hell from between many of my previous lives (and I've also had out of body experiences where I died and had some experiences with paradises and hell), i don't remember much now and it's all cloudy, but i remember for sure that i was there, and that the pain is mostly physical!
(I understand why you don't like the word 'punishment', but the torah uses it, chazal use it, and even in your metaphor about parents disciplining a child they love (if you ever find such a phenomenon - parents loving their children) who don't want to take revenge on their child - just to correct him, they're also not going to necessarily refrain from using the term 'punishment': obviously all we have to do is simply redefine what this term "itself" means that it doesn't mean 'revenge'. - just another aside).
Besides if that's all you say about paradise and hell, that paradise is when the two metaphoric videos of "who you are" and "who you could be" match up, and hell is the shame when they don't? - how would you expect anyone to have an incentive to obey god in this world in order to enter paradise? Or to have a deterrent from disobeying god to avoid hell? Why don't you mention also what's mentioned in our holy books that even one hour in hell is worse then 70 years of יסורי איוב?
By the way if we're already talking; I'm also such a person who can't understand why any sane person would like me, i was already like this since I was born, when i couldn't understand why my parents (sometimes anyway) seem to like me, when I don't give them back "anything". I suppose with me the emotional trauma that caused This, comes from a past life or from the world of souls, because it was already present when I was born as far as i believe.
As a matter of fact, at age 26, when i was once lying ill in my bed, weak from not having eaten the whole day, when god came to visit me and embraced and hugged me with such love 😍 (i being fully awake). As soon as i noticed that this is god "himself" i was so shocked and surprised - why god would you like "me", what have you seen in "me". But being that I'm a מאמין בן מאמין and i know that God is perfect and never makes any mistakes - i realised that it must be that I'm actually a Righteous person (at least at the time it happened - I'm at time of writing about 34) otherwise god would have never shown me such personal love, king David says in psalms ה' אוהב צדיקים implying clearly That those that are not, he doesn't like. So besides the actual physical and spiritual (emotional) pleasure of his embrace, it also gave me mentally a lot of moral support to know that God considers me righteous (maybe even to the point of almost getting me dangerously close to the sin of pride, at Least i hope only "close"). Anyway it was just a taste of one of the main pleasures in paradise - feeling God's love the whole time. It was a tiny אחד מששים or so, from the main reward in paradise. And it was the greatest joy and pleasure i ever experienced in my life, as a matter of fact I'd be willing to give up about three years or so, of the pleasures of video games etc. For a few moments of this godly spiritual (and physical) pleasure. But the point is I know god only loved me because I was righteous and found favour in his eyes.
כי אין גוף. בגלל זה החוויות אינן גשמיות.
@@kfamily770 so how do you explain away all my sources?
yaakov Neugarten well written good perspective and indeed is all true one statement crossed my mind before opening this video the pain of disconnect from YHVH we are given a glimpse or reminder of his warmth ,wisdom ,knowledge,understanding and love just before sent into the separation of his glory and this is the true pain agony coupled with heat extra. Then I read your comment and we do find across the spectrum of death separation experiences these references are abound and are detailed much the same in each death occurrence! This fact in itself rings true as you wrote so I comment on your statement and will add I too felt am feeling and am completely comforted in the Almighty being in his glory and direction is a very harmonious feeling that brings great peace comfort and joy to yourself and your surroundings! Shalom
@@kamipurky3243, thanks. Although you could have maybe tried to make Your reply a bit more grammatically consistent, so i could understand it a "bit" better - are you new to the English language?
Rabbi thank you for your reply for your thanks and shalom and to answer your question no I am not new to the language but I am new to commenting or getting my inner thoughts into the light of writing and would love to see how I can be productive clear and exact to my thoughts to bring life to my thoughts so to speak. Do you have any thoughts or even better would you have the time to correct this comment and I can study my understanding to your understanding and see how each other arrived to understand. This is important to me and more importantly our father wants great communication particularly when we speak on him and please keep in mind I eat drink and breath the will of HaShem! And you should know I am new to Torah six months or so new and want to learn Hebrew and Gemara. You might be thinking friend you got to learn your own language by the looks of it but then again why not learn the fathers language first and it will be my first language learned correctly? Hopefully I am in the correct form or area to send this comment thank you again for your thanks and bringing my grammar to my attention and desire to understand what I can do to be clearer or clear for future comments and speech.
This guy is a Rabbi and yet he is teaching pagan beliefs rather than the scripture. Is he really a Rabbi? There are plenty of evidences in the scripture that show soul is destructable and it is not something that can live out of body and live forever. See the proof from the scripture below:
“For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.” Ecclesiastes 9:5
“His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.” Psalms 146:4
“You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.” Ezekiel 13:19
“For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.” Psalms 56:13
“Also the blood of the souls of the innocent poor is found in your skirts. You did not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things.” Jeremiah 2:34
“They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burned Hazor with fire.” Joshua 11:11
“They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.” Joshua 10:37
