Ep. 482: What More Can We Do to Help Win the War?

MyLife: Chassidus Applied

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
What more can we do to help win the war that continues to rage on?

• Why have all our beautiful, good deeds not ended the war?
• After all that we have done, can we demand that G-d finally put an end to this nightmare?

• What is the meaning of the song ech ti zimlak that the Rebbe instructed him to sing on various occasions?

• What does this day offer us?
• What lessons can we learn from the Rebbetzin about how to win the war against Hamas and their antisemitic supporters?
• Why do people refer to the Rebbetzin as the Frierdiker Rebbe’s daughter or the Rebbe’s wife instead of describing her in her own right?
• What did the Rebbe mean when he said marrying the Rebbetzin bound him to the chassidim:

• Did the Rebbe explain the significance of her passing in connection with the number eleven – on the 22nd day (twice 11) in the 11th month?
• Is there a connection between the Basi L’gani maamar and the 15th and 22nd of Shevat?

• What do we learn from the central theme of this parsha?
• Why were only 10 of the 613 commandments said at Sinai?
• If the 10 commandments frightened the Jews even when they heard it directly from G-d, how can we expect to embrace Torah and mitzvos on an ongoing basis?
• Did the Jews accept the Torah with joy?
• How does G-d observe the mitzvah of honoring parents?

• Will civil war break out among Hamas as it did among the Egyptians?
• Why did they lie to Phraoah about leaving Egypt for several day when they never intended to return? Can we learn anything from this in our war with Hamas?
• How does the manna manifest today in our livers?
• Why don’t we say the parsha of manna every day?

With the passing of Cantor Tzvi Tzazkes, what can you share about his connection with the Rebbe? What lessons can we
