Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
What does Purim teach us today? 

  • What is the main theme of Purim and how can we access its power in our time? 
  • How can Purim help us face our enemies today and transform even the greatest threat to total victory? 
  • Why is Purim celebrated with so much joy, more than any other day in the year? 
  • What is the meaning of “everyone who stretches out his hand, is given” on Purim? 
  • What happened Purim 1966 when the Rebbe made this announcement? 
  • What were the three different ways the Rebbe reacted to those stretching out their cups, and what fundamental lessons can we learn from them? 
  • Can Megillas Esther be translated as the revelation of the concealed?  
  • Why is Purim named after a lottery? 
  • If Haman was accessing a level beyond good and evil how could he have channeled that into evil? 
  • What is the connection between Purim and Yom Ha'Ki-Purim? 
  • Is Haman a representation of the primordial evil of the snake in the Garden of Eden? 
  • Why is Shushan Purim celebrated only in cities that had walls since the time of Joshua?  
  • Is there an advantage to living in a walled city? 
  • What is the deeper meaning behind the Megillah being read from the eleventh to the fifteenth of the month? 
  • How is Purim considered the completion of the giving of the Torah?   
  • Should we gather children together to recite verses to help vanquish our enemies as Mordechai did? 
  • Can we explain Moshiach’s imminent arrival with the events as they occurred during the days of Purim? 
  • If the Rabbis can alter the laws of reading the Megillah allowing it to be read earlier to accommodate Jews, why can’t they decree the immediate coming of Moshiach? 
  • Should we allow Jews siding with our enemies celebrate Purim with us? 
  • Did the Rebbe say that whistling is connected to Moshiach?
