Listen Later

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
What does this time-period and Torah portion teach us today?  

  • What lessons do we glean from our work of counting the Omer in the “second month” (Iyar) following the “first month” (Nissan)? 
  • What are the different meanings of the word sefirah (v’sefartem)? 
  • How can we gain strength and conviction in the war with Hamas? 
  • What’s the best way to address the anti-Israel protests on campuses?  
    • What does this chapter teach us about education and how can it help us address the crisis in our schools and universities? 
    • What is the best way to discipline students? 
      • How can we distinguish between appropriate hiddurim on Pesach and OCD?  
      • What can I do with a family member who is going overboard with chumras or other obsessions? 
      • How can the Midrash say that the Jews were redeemed from Egypt on account of them not changing their names, their language, not speaking slander and modesty, when in fact they did not maintain these virtues? 
      • What can we learn from these qualities that helped redeem the Jews from Egypt? 
      • Is there a source for the custom of baking a shlissel challah for the first Shabbos after Pesach?  
        • What is a practical way of explaining Geulah? 
        • What is the difference between Moshiach and Geulah? 
        • What is the purpose of making the world a more beautiful place? 
        • How many stages will there be after Moshiach comes? 
        • How will we know what stage we are in? 
        • Will there be miracles when Moshiach comes? 
        • Will Resurrection be literal – the physical rising of all those that died? 
        • How do we integrate Moshiach in our daily lives? 
        • Should we quit our jobs and totally dedicate our lives to prepare for and bring Moshiach?
