  But you said earlier, and Breslov and the holy black brother and so many others just speak to  Hashem wherever they are, in their own words and  language. We don't need a siddur for  that. 

    Couldn't they have had their bread and their prayers also?

  Ambassador?

  I parked on the east side of nyc near the UN in a spot marked for "Ambassadors and Embassy staff". I got a big ticket. I pleaded not guilty and  went to court.  I told the judge that I was an Ambassador of Hashem. He didn't buy it.

  Rabbi YY,

  Hashem is not physical. How do we make him really here and really feel him like when we are davening or when we are alone?"

  Question for Rabbi YY

  G-d as a Loving Father: Being that I did not experience my father-who was a survivor with his own trauma - as unconditionally loving, I have never been able to connect with this sense of G-d. I am so accustomed to judgement and criticism--how can I be helped to feel Hashem's love, constantly, no matter what .

    Just look around and realise everything is HIM. You for sure had it not easy but it's in your hand to change that. Feel his presence his present that HE gives us everyday talk to HIM HE is our father our father. Create a link and u will see how easy is it to feel home in all u do. Pray thank HIM Love HIM. HE will bless u. Judgement is not our job to do. Who are we to judge escape itself from judgment u will feel so much lighter. 🥰

    It's a way to say Thank you with powerful words to our Father who gives us everything sec of our life so much present. U can see eat moove jump i can't even start counting the blessings. When we pray we connect to HIM and make our life so meaningful 🥰😏. Start with a phrase and every week add one if u can start with a paragraph. May Gd bless u

  Question for Rabbi YY

  I would like to appear live at this event

  My natural feelings tend to go toward what Rabbi YY Jacobson described as small, petty, finite, moody, and struggling. Is simply praying to go to change my perspective? What if I try every day to have kavana but to no avail? How do I get out of this view of myself how do I sep away from my traumas and be an ambassador of God?

  Hashem put me into so many extremely difficult situations in life and then rescued me with great chessed. I don't have a problem with ahavas Hashem, but I do have a problem with yira... I know that Hashem is always kind and forgiving. Can you please suggest what I should concentrate on to develop at least a bit of yiras Hashem.

  it seems like a one way relationship between us and G-d. we talk, and G-d listens. He cant encourage us and tell us to keep going. yes, he keeps us alive and everything we have is from Him to us, but he doesnt seem to answer us directly.

  My grandmother passed away 3 years ago. There is a mashel that the malech hameves uses other things not to get the blame bc he was worried about everyone will blame him. When my grandmother passed away I didn't blame the ilness that she had, I blamed the malech hamves. I am angry that she was taken away. What would help me calm down from the anger?

  Question for Rabbi YY

  How can you have a relationship and even required a intimate one with hashem? God is not visible, Not a person or thing. We have no frame of reference what gd is. Are we supposed to invent a image of our imagination. I think this can be one of the reasons of boys and girls leaving Judaism because they're like robots doing things with not feeling any connection to gd. Thank you

  Thanks a lot for your amazing talks, I have been listening to a lot of them and sharing them with family and friends too! They are absolutely amazing! You talk a lot about connecting to your inner self and using this opertunity to finding your inner core etc For many of us this is a chaotic and busy time, men who are usually busy davening in shul, learning and working etc are now sharing the burden of children at home with their wives and cant daven and learn normally, how does this connect them to their inner self? We can't even think straight being so over busy with things we are not used to doing? Thanks!
