Ep. 481: How Should We React to Jews Sympathizing With Our Enemies?

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:What lessons can we learn from this time period about the war Israel is waging?  What resources and strengths are we given to help us fight our battles?  Since the shechina would have remained below if they had not sinned, what is accomplished through our service today?  Can we apply the transforming of shtus d’leumas zeh to shtus d’kedusha to secular music?  When was Basi L’Gani first delivered by the Frierdiker Rebbe?  Is there a connection between Basi L’Gani and Rebbetzin Rivkah, in whose honor the maamar was said?  What do we learn from the central theme of this parsha?  What did Moses and Joshua do to successfully defeat the Amalekites that we can learn from today?   How do we collect a double portion of spiritual and physical “manna” blessings today as we are in the Erev Shabbos before the geulah?  Is there a connection between the serpent in Eden and the staff of Moshe?  Should the fact that we are in exile in any way change our ownership of Israel and our need to protect ourselves from our enemies?  Is there any merit to those Jews that argue against the Jewish people controlling the land of Israel?  Are we prohibited from visiting Israel as tourists? From buying property in Israel and living there, or having a Jewish state in Israel before the Messiah comes?  What attitude should we have to the case brought by South Africa against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ)?  How should we react to Jews sympathizing with our enemies?  Are our critics reminding us how important we are and how it's our responsibility to be the best people we can possibly be?  I am distraught: What can I do about my daughters who support our enemies?  And how about those looking like ultra-orthodox claiming they are neturei karta, and marching with Hamas?  Who are these Jews? What is wrong with them?  Are they like the Hellenists?  Why do some of our biggest enemies come from within?  Should we excommunicate them?  How should we react when we see people ripping down posters with photos of the hostages?    Should we be printing and posting pictures of hostages demanding their release?
