Life Is Beautiful: The Revolution of Chassidus on Tzimtzum/Abandonment - Basi L'Gani 5725 #5

Moshe’s Mission: Humility Is Never About Self-Bashing; It Is Seeing Yourself as a Channel for Infinity

This class was presented on Tuesday, 21 Teves, 5785, January 21, 2025, Parshas Vaera, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.

Why did Amram marry his aunt, a relationship that would be later forbidden? Moshe, who gave the Torah, was born from this flawed union? Why did Moshe, the humblest of men, say to G-d he is ready to be priest and king? Why was Saul rebuked for arrogance when he actually refused to be king and rejected the power? Why did Moshe tell Hashem, "Who am I?" Did he think G-d did not know him well?

The class delves into the mechanism to liberate ourselves from being captive to the inner voices of fear, anxiety, insecurity, and the need for validation—by energetically discovering how we are channels for infinity.

We discuss what makes a good therapist, rabbi, teacher, leader, and mentor. When therapists or rabbis are not worked out emotionally, they can wreak havoc. Great teachers, healers, and leaders are mirrors, reflecting back to you who you really are. When these mirrors are broken, you start believing you are broken, and you become dependent rather than confident and self-reliant.
