That is Halbashah. And sometimes we are stuck on the outside of things, the drama, the details, the noise and we need to strip away the layers to discover the essence underneath. That is Hafshotah.This class explores how Chassidus teaches us not only how to understand lofty spiritual ideas, but how to understand ourselves, our relationships, our struggles, and our connection with G-d in a more honest and practical way. Key Points1. Every definition has a boundaryWhen we define something, we are saying both what it is and what it is not. That is true in language, relationships, identity, and spirituality.2. Not all knowledge can be explainedSometimes we know something deeply, but we cannot yet articulate it. Chassidus calls this a kind of soul-knowledge, a recognition that comes from somewhere deeper than logic.3. Halbashah means bringing an idea downA lofty idea becomes understandable when it is “dressed” in a story, example, metaphor, or practical application.4. Hafshotah means uncovering the essenceWe remove the outer layers and ask: What is really going on here? What is the deeper truth beneath the surface?5. This is not only about studying KabbalahIt is a tool for life: understanding people, calming emotional reactions, learning Torah, praying with more depth, and finding the soul inside the situation.6. The goal is integrationThe deepest wisdom is not to stay in the clouds. It is to climb high enough to see the truth, and then bring it down into real life, real choices, and real kindness.Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

As we step into the week of Yesod, we move from the inner emotional world into the place where everything becomes real, where feelings turn into connection, and potential becomes relationship. In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores Yesod not just as a mystical concept, but as the very foundation of how we bond with others, with ourselves, and with G-d.Drawing on teachings from Kabbalah and Chassidus we uncover the deeper meaning of authentic connection, what it means to show up fully, to be emotionally present, and to build relationships rooted in truth rather than fear. This is not just about connection, it's about becoming someone who can be trusted with connection. Because Yesod asks one powerful question: Are you relating… or are you just reacting?Key Points & Takeaways:Yesod is the bridge between emotion and expression, it's where everything you feel becomes how you connect.True connection is not intensity, it's consistency.Healthy Yesod means being present, honest, and emotionally available without losing yourself.Distorted Yesod shows up as people-pleasing, emotional dependency, or confusing attention for connection.Real intimacy requires vulnerability, but also boundaries.Trust is built not in big moments, but in small, repeated acts of alignment.The goal is not just to feel deeply, but to connect truthfully.You don't need to perform connection. You need to embody it.#Kabbalah #chassidus #chassidut #SefiratHaOmer #Sefirah #sefirot #yesod #JewishWisdom #EmotionalConnection  #Authenticity  #HealthyRelationships  #spiritualgrowth #InnerWork #Connection #Trust  #Vulnerability  #Consistency A Brand-New Four Part Kabbalah Series - Turning Walls into DoorwaysHow to Transform Life's Obstacles into the Path to Your Greatest GrowthWhy do we keep hitting the same emotional walls?

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: 16 Iyar Why don't we recite the Parsha about Manna every day, as well as the Ten Commandments, like we do the Parsha of the Akeidah, as stated in Shulchan Aruch?  What is the significance of this special day? How could the students of Rabbi Akiva not respect each other to the point of it causing a plague? Why don't we see such harsh consequences (G-d forbid) due to other acts of disrespect in our times? How did the Mitteler Rebbe celebrate Lag B'Omer? Why was it a day of miracles? How can Lag B'Omer open up channels of connection between parents and children? What is the source that this day is the hilula of Rashbi? Why is the day of Rashbi's passing a time of joy and celebration? What is the connection with Hod of Hod? Why is Rashbi referred to as Shabbos? What were some of the big secrets Rashbi revealed right before his passing? How could Rashbi have passed away while he was teaching Torah? What is the connection between Lag B'Omer and the gal (mound) that Jacob built to serve as a witness of the boundary between him and Laban? How is that consistent with the verse gal einei, which is a state of open revelation, the opposite of Jacob's gal that separates and conceals? How does Chassidus explain the difference between Choni HaMaagel and Rashbi causing it to rain? Why did Rashbi hide from the Romans, while the Alter Rebbe allowed himself to be arrested? How could Rashbi have caused fire to consume and destroy? Is Lag B'Omer or Yud Tes Kislev the Rosh Hashana of the Inner Torah? What did the Rebbe mean when he said that Rashbi is at the Ohel? Should I write a pan to the Rebbe or to Rashbi, or both?Chassidus Applied to Lag B'Omer
