Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:

Strength and Direction

What should be our general attitude to recent events?

How should we react to this tragedy?

How should we deal with fear?

What should we tell our children?

Should we be traveling to Israel now?

Should we be leaving Israel?

Actions

What actions should we be taking?

What more should we be doing?

Should there be special emphasis on Mivtza Mezuzah?

Are our increased good actions making a difference?

How do we know that our good deeds help? They didn’t seem to help the Jews in WWII?

Should we “boycott” mitzvos to motivate G-d?

Can our words make a difference?

How can we increase in Jewish unity – ahavas and achdus Yisroel?

How can we get all the shluchim to unite in one Kinus?

Should we organize a million-man march?

Should we participate in a pro-Israel rally where there may be potential safety concerns?

What is its relevance and lessons for us today?

What battles were foreseen to happen with the children of Yishmael in the end of days?

Will our enemies do teshuva as Yishmael did at the end of this week’s parsha?
