Ep. 410: How Should We React to New Astronomical Discoveries?

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Chassidus Applied to 17 Tammuz NidcheWhat does this day teach us? What can we learn from the nidche? If Judaism doesn't believe in collective punishment, why do we fast and do teshuva for the sins of our fathers? How are the Three Weeks relevant today? Chassidus Applied to PinchasWhy was Pinchas granted the covenant of peace for his act of zealousness? Why did G-d wait until the daughters of Tzelofchad complained about not having an inheritance before writing new inheritance laws into the Torah for them? How should we react to new astronomical discoveries?How large is the universe according to the Torah? Why did G-d create the multitude of galaxies? Doesn’t this render the Earth as nothing but a puff of a speck in the universe without much importance? Do these findings prove that the universe is billions of years old? Can we go on a hunger strike until G-d sends us Moshiach? What can I do about my addiction to TV? What was the Rebbe’s intention in printing Tanyas in every possible location? Follow-up Chassidus question: How does Chassidus explain the Three Weeks?
