One day before he boarded the ship that saved him from the clutches of the Nazis, on the 17th of Sivan 5751, the Lubavitcher Rebbe wrote a list for himself. At a time of existential danger, when the Jewish world was drowning in a sea of tears, the Rebbe chose to write a profound Torah commentary on the puzzling statement of Chazal Tamva in Tractate Sanhedrin: "No son of David comes until a sick person asks for fish and finds none.".
What is the connection between fish, sick people, and the Messiah? And how does this message give us tools to deal with the spiritual and emotional downfalls in our lives? Rabbi Jacobson deciphers the miraculous list and reveals a revolutionary insight: The way to avoid falling into despair and depression lies in a deep understanding of the essence of true clinging.
In a fascinating lesson on Parashat Shemini, Rabbi Jacobson teaches how to remain connected to the source of our life in every situation, and how it is precisely from moments of breaking and nullification that we can reach the goal of elevation and perfection.
The lesson clarifies the surprising connection between "a generation that is all indebted" and "a generation that is all entitled," and offers an in-depth perspective on how to deal with life's challenges.
