I just wanted to say a big "thank you" to the Rabbi for successfully bringing a number of important insights into this discussion, not the least is the serious realization of the serpent's role in creating a unique environment in our world: which has starkly risen to realization in our modern world, (2020). An environment 'poisoned' by the polarization of nation states, peoples within a nation, and even 'houses divided amongst each other' ... meaning families and couples.

If we cannot maintain Shalom Beis in the home, how can we hope to maintain it in our world? Indeed, there has come upon us to embrace the need for transformation of our world, to turn it back towards G-dliness, pre-deluvian times, .... now an imperative ... so that we may see G-d's fulfilment - and realize the 'destiny' G-d put forth for all of us.

a Terrific Lecture I thoroughly enjoyed the humorous means in which R' Jacobson cleverly and thoughtfully articulated the relevant way in which we need to realize (& actualize) the essence of God's Divinity in us, by way of, our marriages and relationships.
There is absolutely everything to be said for the profoundness of Torah - (the BluePrint) for the way in which we can (w)holy meet God through the intimate journey with others.
T/y for this teaching. B"H Reply
