Ep. 445: What Should We Do to Honor Chof Ches Nissan?

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Chassidus Applied to Post Pesach What opportunities do we have at the end of Nissan? Why don’t we say a version of al ha’nissim on Pesach? How do we explain that 4/5 of the Jewish people died during the plague of darkness? Why was prayer rejected as an option when the Jews were stuck between the Egyptians and the Red Sea? What is the source of the custom of Moshiach’s Seudah on the eighth day of Pesach? What is the difference between Seudas Dovid Malka Meshicha on Motzei Shabbos and Moshiach’s Seudah on Acharon Shel Pesach? Did the Jews build the pyramids? How does the redemption from slavery in Egypt over 3,000 years ago help us today to climb out of physical boundaries and limitations and become better people? What are the four levels or stages of geulah? Is there a fifth stage? Why can’t Rabbis today undo the ruling about kitniyos on Pesach? Why don’t Rabbis prohibit the use of foods that look like chametz? In what areas of our lives can we bring down spiritual blessings by doing physical acts? Chassidus Applied to Chof Ches Nissan What should we do to honor this day? What will the world look like when Moshiach comes? When we declare that we want Moshiach now is that a lack of a faith in G-d's plan to send Moshiach in the time He chooses? Will the first born become kohanim? How does counting the Omer correct a blemish in a particular sefira? What internal work do we need to do during the days of sefira? What is the relevance of the laws in the Rambam that are not applicable today? What should we do to feel less helpless in this increasingly polarizing and infuriating political environment?
