Welcome to Monday Torah, a riveting class by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Jacobson, one of the most sought after speakers in the Jewish world today and spiritual leader of Congregation Bais Shmuel in Crown Heights.
The weekly video webcast is aired on TheYeshiva.net and COLlive.com each Monday evening at 8:30 PM EST.
This week’s lecture, accompanied by a full study curriculum, explores the reason why Rivkah felt the need to outsmart her husband Yitzchak, and dress Yaakov in Eisav’s clothes, rather than communicating with him directly.
As it turns out, Rivkah planted the seeds for the entire idea of Shlichus, which would become the towering vision of our generation.
VIDEO: Will begin at 8:30 pm EST. A replay will be available afterwards. Sign in to watch.
Actually Avraham Avinu did togerhter with Sara. Vayikra shom besham hashem kel olam and Es hanefesh asher asu becharan. Our many Chabad houses are like the Ashel of Avraham and Sara who would provide free food if the person thanked Hashem.This is especially true of the Chabad Houses in Asia where the Israeli backpackers come for free meals on Shabbos. These Chabad Houses literally follow in Avraham Avinu and Sara Imeinu’s ways..
didn’t the baal shem tov start the entire idea? He sent all his talmidim around Russia to various communities to spread chassidus
