Plagiarism of Harvard President and How We Make Believe Our Energy is Our Own

Basi L'Gani 5724 #4: This is the fourthof 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 onThursday, 1 Shvat, 5784, January 11, 2024, in Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim, Monsey, NY. The class explains the process of creation every moment, something from nothing, and how we can perceive the Divine life-force animating and engineering every creature. We discuss how turtles lay their eggs, and how empty space constitutes most of the atom. We explore the deeper meaning of the words of the Talmud how G-d sustains the horns of the wild ox to the eggs of lice, and how even in the world of kinim, where we plagiarize the Divine words and misconstrue them as belonging to our ego, the infinite light is fully present, hence there is always home for inner healing and redemption. The class explains the laws about how nicknames are written in a Get, based on a Maharik, and how it reflects the distortions we can experience in our world.
