    לכבוד הרי''י ג'ייקובסון

    ישר כח. יש להעיר ולהוסיף: בענין הגידו לו את עם מרדכי - עם מלשון עוממות. ובכללות הענין כדאי להעיר משיחת פורים תש''א - ושם ביאר את היסטוריית שם יהודי באופן אחר ממה שביאר כבודו בשיעור זה. ושלפנ''ז היו ידועים בשם עברים (ולא כמו שאמרת - בנ''י). ע''ש! ובענין עד דלא ידע - ראה גם ש''פ כי תשא תשנ''ב הערה 166.

    The thoughts keep coming
    The overthinking
    The anxiety
    The negative thinking
    The catastrophizing

    Telling me I made a mistake
    I'm not good enough
    Im a mess
    I'm alone in this world
    I need to measure up
    It's all pointless and random anyway
    So why even try!

    You're telling me my husband is not enough
    He's too intense and loud
    And random
    And won't make enough $ for u to live comfortably
    And he doesn't know how to talk to the kids with love…

    Darkness

    I'm scared
    I'm upset
    I wish it wasn't like this
    I wish I could just sail along life
    Calmly
    Happy
    Laughing and connecting with loved ones
    Inspired, creative, alive..

    Hello darkness
    Hello triggers
    Hello Paroh
    Hello Haman
    Hello Amalek

    You are part of my life
    You were part of all the Torah stories in my childhood
    And you're part of my conciousness

    But I don't need to be scared of you!
    You were sent here
    By God himself
    To help me heal

    And Hashem is always with me
    So I can go to you
    And listen
    To what you're saying
    As much as it hurts..

    And I can trust
    I won't be destroyed
    But even more
    I will grow
    I will introduce u to the TRUTH
    of Hashems reality
    As I
    Expand my consciousness
    Create new neural pathways
    That serve me better
    That serve Hashem better

    I can love myself through this
    With lots of self compassion
    And care
    And patience
    To listen
    And hear the message you're telling me
    And see where you're coming from
    And recognize the truth
    That wants to emerge
    From this darkness

    Hello darkness
    Hello triggers
    I see you
    I hear you
    And I'm not afraid of you

    Cuz Hashem himself,
    I myself,
    Am here too.

    —---
    I remember Shabbos
    I remember Amalek
    Simultaneously

    Because the only way to have Shabbos
    A calm peaceful conciousness
    Where all is well in the world..

    Is by not being afraid of Amalek
    Not being afraid of my triggers
    Not being stuck in my head
    Of the way I think things need to be
    And the thoughts that all is going wrong

    I can be here
    In both realities

    With the power of Hashem
    Beyond my minds comprehension
    "Ad delo yada"

    Emptying out the cups
    Of my limiting beliefs

    Trusting
    I can handle this darkness
    Again and again and again

    I can know it's here
    To bring out my light
    My inner queen 👑
    And to transform my consciousness
    And my home
    And this world
    Into a home
    For Hashem.

    Happy Purim 💓💔😎

    Question for Rabbi YY

    I didn't quite get the concept before lo yada. I have always understood that the blessing of Mordechai is the curse of Haman and vice versa - the curse of Haman is the blessing of Mordechai. You can put an equal sign between them. It is so and so obvious that for this there is no need to get drunk to lo yada.
