Hashem Wants Me to Coronate Him as My King; But What If I’m Not Interested?This text-based class is the second of a two-part series on a historic Sicha (address) by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, given at the Farbrengen of Shabbos Parshas Shoftim, 7 Elul, 5748, August 20, 1988, published in Sefer Hasichos 5748 vol. 2. This class, exploring the essence of our relationship with Hashem, what it means to know Him in all your ways, what is the core of education, and why Elul is not desginated as a month of joy, was presented on Friday, 12 Elul, 5785, September 5, 2025, Parshas Ki Seitzei, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. For much of our lives, especially our struggles, there are no clear directives in Torah on how to deal with them. So we search for people to guide us all the time, to tell us what to do. But the real essence of Judaism is to learn how to trust yourself, your true innate oneness with Hashem, and truth. This address by the Rebbe is life-changing in how we see ourselves, our children, and our relationship with Hashem, and how we step away from a trauma-based Judaism to a redemptive consciousness. View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9759
