Ep. 556: How Can We Ensure That Chassidus Inspires and Is Internalized In Our Lives?
from MyLife: Chassidus Applied · host Rabbi Simon Jacobson
Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: What should be our focus as we move from the month of Av into the month of Elul? How does the Jewish calendar mirror our life cycles? How does it help us navigate the ups and downs of our lives? How do we apply the acronym of Elul in our personal lives? What is the significance of the rose in the verse I am to my beloved and my beloved is to me, he who grazes among the roses? Why is the path of the opposite of blessing considered a gift? What is the message of Re’eh – vision? What personal and global lessons can we learn from this week’s Parsha? If the weekly Torah portion captures the energy of the corresponding time period, can the Parsha in which I was born tell me about my life mission? If prayer replaced the temple offerings, and they were only allowed to be brought in the temple, then why are we allowed to pray at home? Are there people whose personalities and characters have been refined and transformed by Chassidus? Why is Chassidus not inspiring many of us? How can we improve how Chassidus is being taught in our schools and ensure that it inspires and is internalized into the next generation? How can we learn Chassidus not just conceptually but as a practical guide for life? Re’eh Is Chassidus impacting our lives?
