Absolutely brilliant, goes straight into the heart, powerful, what comes from the heart, goes to the heart. Thank you, Rabbi Jacobson.

about "An oasis..."
Rabbi YYJacobson has the power of saying, sometimes what we've heard from any other Rabi, but not with such a passion, ou precise words. Sometimes it is difficult to listen ( for he is so toched with emotions) for me, specially ( a brasilian) . But I do an amazing work of listening, thousand of times, and recording from the download, to catch the precise words in the middle of his emotion, cause it fills me with the same (maybe) emotion, too.
He is a great inspiration (as his brother, and Rabi Manis Friedman, which one with its own style)for our generation. Thanks.

Its a mitzvah to imitate our creator. We also try to imitate a Rebbe, teacher or mentor. A chasid tries to acquire at least some measure of his Rebbe's personality and character. This class tries to give us an observation of one measure of the Rebbe's qualities which we may try to emulate.
