Ep. 495: How Should We Respond to the Rebbe’s Call: “Do Everything You Can to Bring Moshiach”?
from MyLife: Chassidus Applied · host Rabbi Simon Jacobson
Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:What does this time-period and Torah portion teach us today? How does Pesach continue to empower us as we conclude Nissan? How could we have celebrated Pesach with a free heart when our brothers and sisters are being held hostage by our enemies? Any advice on how to address my heavy heart? Why did the liberating energy of Pesach not help the hostages be safely freed from captivity Don't they also deserve to have been free to enjoy the seder with their families? Is there a prayer with which we can complain to G-d when He hurts us, just as there is the Hallel prayer to praise Him when He is kind to us? Can we refrain from praising Hashem when our families are in danger? What is the significance of praising G-d? How can we say that Chizkiyahu did not say praise when he certainly said Hallel that Pesach? Why was the tribe of Ephraim killed for leaving Egypt 30 years earlier? What did they do wrong? What is a synopsis of the Rebbe’s impassioned talk on 28 Nissan 5751? What is the meaning and practical application of “the energies of Tohu in the containers of Tikkun”? What should we be doing in response to the Rebbe’s call: “Do everything you can to bring Moshiach”? What is the essential theme of this chapter and its lessons for our times? What did Aaron's sons do wrong by going into the Holy Temple that caused them to die? What is the significance of the lots (gorel) cast on Yom Kippur to determine what to do with the two goats? Is it connected to the lots of Purim? Why do we count sefirah every year if we have already rectified any emotional blemishes we had in previous years? Is there a connection between counting sefirah and the fifty gates of understanding? How should we react to these disturbing events? Do they have anything in common with the 1960’s Viet Nam War protests? Did the Rebbe make any comments in support of or against the Vietnam War protests? How do we deprogram all the brainwashed college students that hate Jews based on false propaganda and lies? What’s the best way to fight these protests? Physically or spiritually? Is it appropriate to display Moshiach flags at pro-Israel rallies?
