from MyLife: Chassidus Applied · host Rabbi Simon Jacobson

Chassidus Applied to 15 Elul – 125th anniversary of the founding of Yeshivas Tomchei TemimimWhat is the significance and contribution of Tomchei Temimim? What was the Rebbe Rashab's goal with creating the Yeshiva, and did he succeed? I was in Tomchei Temimim throughout my life, but I struggle with what I'm supposed to stand for. What are some of the advantages, and the spiritual and physical responsibilities, of a Tamim? Chai ElulWhat is the significance of the Baal Shem Tov and the Alter Rebbe both being born on the 18th of Elul? Would it be fair to say Chai Elul gives life to the entire month? What is novel about the Baal Shem Tov and the Alter Rebbe? What do they have in common and how do they differ? What is the difference between Chabad and other types of chassidus and is any one more aligned than another with the Baal Shem Tov’s approach? Why are there no chiddushim on shas from the Baal Shem Tov? What can we learn from the Baal Shem Tov going into the forest to daven and meditate? Are Rebbe's born or are they made? What was the main teaching of the Baal Shem Tov? How did he revolutionize the practice of Judaism? What is something we can do to honor the Baal Shem Tov and his teachings? Can you share your three favorite life-changing lessons from the Tanya? Should we commemorate 9/11? How should we react to the Queen of England’s passing? What can we learn from the story about the restaurant whose kosher certification was revoked? Can giving tzedakah open up new channels of wealth and blessings for us?
