Ep 480: What Are We to Make Of the Recent Chaos in 770?

Listen Later

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
Yud Shevat 

  • What is the central theme of Yud Shevat and Basi L’Gani and what lessons do they offer us today? 
  • Should Yud Shevat be celebrated with joy, like Lag B’Omer? 
  • Did the Rebbe ever explain why he waited a year to formally accept leadership? 
  • What are the different explanations for the term Shechina? 
  • Can the idea of transforming matter into divine energy be compared to Einstein's first law of thermodynamics? 
  • What can we learn from chapter 14 of Basi L’Gani about today’s war? 
  • Do we have to wait 40 years for the geulah like the 40 years in the wilderness before entering the Promised Land? 
  • When does the seventh generation end? 
  • How do we know Moshiach is almost here? 
  • Do we see today signs of Moshiach’s coming? 
  • When bad things come to light is that a sign of Moshiach’s coming? 
    • What do we learn from the central theme of this parsha? 
    • Does matzah serve as a lesson in the humility we need today? 
    • Will new names of Hashem be revealed to us in the geulah? 
      • What should our attitude and response be? 
      • What would the Rebbe say about rogue bochurim vandalizing the holy shul of 770? 
      • Did the Rebbe say that 770 is gematria beis moshiach? 
      • How could such a thing happen in the Rebbe’s shul? 
      • What lessons should we learn from it? 
      • What can each one of us do about it? 
      • Is this just plain madness or does it have some redeeming factor? 
      • Can we learn anything positive from these events? 
      • Is it possible that these events, as deplorable as they may be, and the publicity they created can be used to bring Chassidus to the world and is part of Hashems plan to bring Moshiach? 
      • Should this be inspiring us to expand 770? 
      • Will this finally motivate the powers that be to make order in 770? 
      • How could bochurim behave this way? 
      • What should be done to those involved? Should they be punished? Arrested? How can we make them aware of their mistake and get them to do teshuva? 
      • Should we host such bochurim in our homes? 
      • How were things like this dealt with in the past? 
      • What can we do to make 770 be a shining example to the world?
