Description

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
 What does the cold winter teach us? 
 
Asarah B’Teves 

  • What is the significance of this day and what lessons does it teach us, especially facing our current challenges? 
  • Why does this fast day supersede Shabbos? 
  • Does this fast day commemorate other sad events that happened during these days? 
  • Why was translating the Torah into Greek considered a tragedy? 
  • And what about the passing of Ezra the Scribe?  
  • May I vent and express my anger and frustration? 
  • After all the pain and anguish, I want to also voice my pride in the powerful response of the Jewish people 
  • Where does the expression “didan notzach” originate? 
  • What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week’s Torah parsha? 
  • Why did Yaakov initially consider revealing when Moshiach would come? 
  • And then why was he prevented from doing so? 
  • If we include Menashe and Ephraim as tribes, why are their twelve tribes and not fourteen? 
  • What's the difference between Reuven and Shimon in our personal avodah? 
  • What exactly does hiskashrus to the Rebbe mean? 
  • Can it be imposed and done mechanically? 
  • Does it leave room for individuality? 
  • How does hiskashrus enhance life?
