Is Chabad Today a Break Away From the Past?The Debate Between the Baal HaTanya and his Colleagues -- and Its Results Today. This discussion was presented during Rabbi YY Jacobson's morning Chassidus class, on 6 Av, 5776, August 10, 2016, at Ohr Chaim Shul, in Monsey, NY. It came as a response to a question by one of the students who wondered why many of the fundamental ideas of the Baal Shem Tov and Chassidus were not (at least from his experience) being taught, practiced and implemented in Chassidic communities today.

Likkutei Torah Ki Tezei Ki Siyenah L'eish #3: A Tale of Two Souls

Likkutei Torah Ki Teitzei Maamar Ki Tehyena #4: A Tale of Two Souls. This class was presented at Ohr Chaim Shul in Monsey, NY, in the summer of 5776/2016.

This is a text based class on Likkutei Torah Ki Tezei Maamar Ki Siyenah L'eish #2. This class was presented during the week of Pinchas 5776, July 2016, in Or Chaim, Monsey, NY. This class explores the battle between the two souls in each human, and how the path to serenity can only come through allowing the Divine soul to become the mentor for the animal soul, not the other way around. It also explores the question if religion seeks to take you away from your sense of self, or to lead you to yourself? We explore the two forms of Divine energy, that which creates and embraces diversity, and that which challenges diversity, seeking transcendental oneness.
