    President Milei

    Just a small detail, not sure if you know because you didn´t mentioned: he used a Chumash because the new minister is jewish.

      From what I understand, President Milei observes Judaism and has some Jewish lineage on his mother's side. I listened to an episode with him on Ben Shapiro.

    Rabbi Jacobson,

    Thank you for the class. I would be curious to know what section of thoughts out of the 7, would suicide fit in to? And what purpose would it serve in that section?

    Thank you for the parsha class 

    you had mentioned in the last few minutes at the end of the class that embracing conflict in a marriage ( in a deep and wise way) is an opportunity, I really love that idea, now how can I strengthen my marriage when I'm struggling with my thoughts, I sometimes want to share many things with my spouse to strengthen our marriage but I have a fear of him that he does not understand me or try to feel the same way and therefore it's a lonely journey in my marriage crises. I feel like my spouse and I are in very different worlds even though we are both on a journey to connect to the source. Any tips for me to reevaluate my situations in my shalom bayit and family lifestyle and approach my spouse?
