MONTREAL, Canada — Google “Soul Maps” and you'll get a self-help book published by the Anglican Church of Canada, an analysis of Karl Jung's human psychology and a question: Did you mean “Seoul Maps?” But you'll also be directed to a new course right here, right now in Montreal based on the Kabbalah, about how to map your own soul to find the road to spiritual happiness.

Recording of a Beautiful Yechidus With the Rebbe!

Attached is a Audio Yechidus of the Rebbe in English. This private audience took place in the summer of 1977 with an American student who was studying in Kfar Chabad. Concerned about his next step in life; he sought the Rebbe’s advice. The Rebbe guides the young student with his learning, as well as provides advice on finding a Shidduch. To learn more about the Rebbe visit: www.InspiringAGeneration.org

The transcript below was taken from the audio recording (attached) of Yechidus with Rabbi Jacobs and his mother. In this Yechidus, the Rebbe directed Rabbi Jacobs to return to Israel, stating that his future wife would be easily found there. Two weeks later, Rami Antian OBM ‘dragged’ Rabbi Jacobs out of his yeshiva dorm bed at 3:00am excitedly notifying him that he had found him his future wife. Rabbi Antian had no knowledge of this Yechidus at the time. Finally, it was in this Yechidus that Rabbi Jacobs was told to begin learning for Smicha (Rabbinic Ordination).
