Did you ever have a dream that felt so real and then suddenly wake up and realize that the whole experience was just a figment of your imagination? Sometimes this is how life itself is, sometimes we make certain choices and get involved in various activities to then later realize that we must have been sleeping when we got involved in those scenarios. We begin to ask ourselves, 'What was I thinking? Was I sleeping?' And the answer often is: Yes. And then sometimes we regret having ever gotten involved to begin with. In this talk, Rabbi Wagensberg once again, reveals to us, another dimension and a different angle, on how to view what happens in our lives. In this class, we will discover how the Chanukah candles with all that they represent, can shed light into the darkest chapters of our lives and wake us up from our slumber.
Could it be that Yosef’s seemingly cruel attitude to his brothers was no more than a ruse to help them fix a harmful trait? Rabbi Wagensberg explores the concept of ‘faking it’ by resolving several questions from many corners of Torah that come to peel away the mask hiding the real Yosef HaTzadik.
Have you ever felt over and done with? Did you ever feel that youåÕve hit rock bottom? If you are as human as the rest of us and have experienced these low ends of our life journey, then this class is a must, for in it Rabbi Wagensberg shows us how it is precisely at these lowest of moments in which we can accomplish the greatest of feats and bring the world to its ultimate tikun.
We all go through dark periods of time throughout the journeys of our lives. We sometimes wonder if we'll ever survive them. In this comforting talk, Rabbi Wagensberg will show us that not only will we survive but that we'll even be able to obtain the greatest pearls of light, precisely from the darkest of circumstances. This lecture will also give more meaning to the fast day called Asara B'Teves which commemorates the tragedies that happened on the 8th, 9th and 10th days of Teves.
The fledgling Jewish Nation begins moving into a very dark period, and their future looked mighty grim. They are living in Egypt, spiritually light years away from their homeland, and Yaakov, who was the entire family's beacon of light, is now on his deathbed. How well did his sons realize that within this very uncertain and challenging moment would come their greatest hope? Hear how trying times have a special way of unlocking the reservoir of one's strength that push us onward and upward.
Yaakov’s desire to reveal the date of Moshiach’s arrival was thwarted by Hashem. What message was implicit in his thought process that brought about Divine disfavor? Rabbi Wagensberg’s beautiful expose on hope and the power it possesses to effect good when all seems to be lost is incredibly encouraging to anyone struggling through difficult times.
Yaakov's desire to be buried in the Land of Israel has cryptic undertones that hint to a very real continuance in the bones of his children. Could it be he is still alive and with us, after all?
If you've ever felt that the whole measure of strict justice has hit your life hard, experiencing one bitter chapter after another, then this lecture is a must!
