Why Did the Rambam Not Feel It Was Arrogant to Write that His Was the Only Book Necessary to Master Jewish Law?On Sunday, 2 Adar, 5785, March 2, 2025, the 44th international Siyum HaRambam took place in Brooklyn, NY, where thousands gathered to celebrate the completion of the study of Mishnah Torah by the Rambam, according to the daily learning cycle of Rambam instituted by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in 1984. Rabbi YY Jacobson presented the keynote lecture at the Siyum, highlighting the contribution of the Rambam to Judaism and its relevance today. The lecture recalls memories of the Rebbe making a Siyum and Hadran on the Rambam back in 1986; it explains the remarkable revolution of the Rambam in Jewish law; and how the Rambam teaches us not to be embarrassed by who we are.

I heard this story from Rabbi YY Jacobson. The Kindertransport was a desperate effort to rescue Jewish children from the Nazis. During the nine months prior to the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the United Kingdom took in nearly 10,000 children, from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and the Free City of Danzig. The children were placed in British foster homes, hostels, schools, and farms. Often, they were the only members of their families to survive the Holocaust. One of those children was Beryl Gartner, who later in his life told his story to BBC radio. כתיבה וחתימה טובה! In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

Maamar Purim 5716 #2: This text-based class, the secondin a series, is on a Maamar, a Chassidic discourse, presented by the Lubavitcher Rebbe at a Farbrengen, on Sunday, Purim 5716, February 26, 1956. The class was taught by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Thursday, Parshas Pekudei, 4 Adar II, 5784, March 14, 2024, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. When you dont know how beautiful you are: our decline begins with the absence of self-respect and self-love. The class explores the uniqueness of Purim by explaining two states of life of the Jewish people and of every Jew, represented by the two names Rachel and Esther. The first is when I am rooted and anchored in my soul, the second is when I am unaware of my own inner Divine beauty and dignity. The maamar explains two forms of spiritual beauty, "toar" and "mareh," physique and face, representing the positive and negativemitzvos, and the beauty that comes from integration, when every mitzvah is interlinked to every other mitzvah. When you touch the Divinity of a mitzvah, you are not stuck in your comfort zone, and in your ego, but connected to the Divine who transcends structure.

Basi L'Gani 5724 #7: This is the seventh of a series of a text-based class on the Chassidic discourse, Basi Legani 5724 (1964), which was said by the Lubavitcher Rebbe 60 years ago at the Farbrengen of Motzei Shabbos Beshalach, 11 Shevat, 5724, January 25, 1964.Rabbi YY Jacobson presented this class on Thursday, 8Shvat, 5784, January 18, 2024, in Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim, Monsey, NY. This class explores the practical relevance of Atzilus in our lives, expressed in the life of Yosef. His brothers, who came from Beriah, could not fathom his lifestyle: How can you be enmeshed in running a superpower, yet remain anchored in Divinity? Yosef explained to them: Do you think I am lower than Elokim? they were from Beriah, Yosef was from Atzilus. And in the world of Atzilus, even the finite and defined thought is an expression of infinite consciousness. With this the Alter Rebbe explains how Hashem contains all thoughts of every human being, without this constitution alien thoughts. And how the Baal Shem Tov managed to answer people about their individual issues while his soul ascended to heaven. Tzaddikim who mirror their Creator can remain present with every thought and emotion, with every person where he or she is, while not leaving the space of infinite oneness. The Baal Shem Tov set an example for each of us. How can I listen to the conversations within myself, respond to the various parts inside of me throwing out questions, with the empathy of my core Divine self, now allowing any thought to tear me away from my intimacy with the Divine?
Basi L'Gani 5724 #6: This is the sixth of a series of a text-based class on the Chassidic discourse, Basi Legani 5724 (1964), which was said by the Lubavitcher Rebbe 60 years ago at the Farbrengen of Motzei Shabbos Beshalach, 11 Shevat, 5724, January 25, 1964. Rabbi YY Jacobson gave this class onon Wednesday, 7Shvat, 5784, January 17, 2024, in Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim, Monsey, NY. This class explores the true meaning of the infinite light permeating the lowest places. This does not mean that the light is present everywhere, but rather that it constitutes the truth of every reality, and yet it remains pure infinity. The paradox is explained via a profound discussion on the nature of the vessels of Atzilus, where finiteness and definition are first introduced into the Divine infinite reality. The Alter Rebbe uses the metaphor of transmitting information via the fingers to explain how the very finite reality, from another prism is pure infinity. We go on to explain how darkness and evil can come from Hashem, because all darkness and negativity begins in the process of measuring the frequencies of light. The class explores the emotional ramifications of this explanation, where we can be fully present in our pain and struggle, we can face adversity with full presence, yet remain anchored in the pure infinite core of all reality. Logic will not do the trick; because it forces truth and infinity into intellectual constructs. Hashem may be the best therapist; but what if your therapist is responsible for the pain? Then the equation changes profoundly. How do we deal with this quandary? The distinction between meditation or other methods that help you experience transcendence, to touch consciousness, disengaged from thoughts, vs. the deeper path of fusion and integration, where the finite thought can also express pure infinite consciousness.

Rabbi YY Jacobson gave this class onThursday, 23Teves, 5784, January 4, 2024, in Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim, Monsey, NY. The theme of the second class of the maamar is the deepest Divine treasures that are given to the soldiers in order to be victorious in the battle of history, to defeat hate with love, fragmentation with oneness.During faceoff with the enemy who wants to destroy the good and love in the world, the deepest chord of netzach, the power of the soul to triumph against diversity emerges. The class explores what are those deepest spiritual Divine Crown Jewels, by introducing the teaching of the Zohar that the infinite Divine light extends down to the lowest of the low.
Basi L'Gani 5724 #1: This is the first of a series of a text-based class on a Chassidic discourse, Maamar Basi Legani 5724 (1964), which was said by the Lubavitcher Rebbe 60 years ago at the Farbrengen of Motzei Shabbos Beshalach, 11 Shevat, 5724, January 25, 1964. Rabbi YY Jacobson gave this class onMonday, 20 Teves, 5784, January 1, 2024, in Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim, Monsey, NY. The theme of the first class of the maamar is how we are charged with the work of fusing all part of our life and our world with the Divine truth, and how we repair the insanity of our dark reality only with holy "insanity," transcending our intellect.This is why the Jewish people are called the army of Hashem, because the soldier going to battle must transcend every last vestige of ego and calculations, committed unwaveringly with every fiber of his being to the mission of victory. The class explored the war between Hamas and Israel and the extraordinary sacrifice of the Jewish soldiers waging battle against Jihad; and how we can only defeat Jihad not through rationality, but through the unbridled passion of the Jewish soul. The class explains the power of enlightened ignorance, which allows one to be a conduit for infinity, and the difference between a cult and transcendence. One if afraid of the mind, the other has graduated and seeks that which rationality cant define or control.
