Listen Later

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
What lessons and empowerment does this time-period and Torah portion offer us in facing today’s war?  

  • What is the significance of the period between Pesach and Shavuos? 
  • What does the month of Iyar teach us? 
  • What is the connection between Rafah and healing? 
  • What do we learn from Pesach Sheni? 
  • How does counting the Omer help refine and strengthen us? 
  • Weeks of Netzach and Hod: What are netzach and hod and what are their functions? 
  • Behar: What does a “mountain” teach us?  
  • Do the laws of Yovel apply today? 
  • Beis Iyar 
  • How to fight a war with a l’chatchila ariber attitude? 
  • Who was the Rebbe Maharash named after and what do we learn from that? 
  • Should we induce labor to give birth to a child on an auspicious day like Beis Iyar? 
    • What do we learn from the soldiers that were tragically killed by “friendly fire”? 
    • Is Israel the safest place on earth? 
    • How do we reconcile the Rebbe’s statement that Israel is the safest place in the world with the unfortunate fact that over 1,200 people were murdered in one day in Israel?  
    • Should we move to Israel due to fears of rising anti-Semitism? 
    • How can we apply the concept of l’chatchila ariber to the current physical and spiritual war? 
    • How should we react to President Biden withholding arms from Israel and to the general anti-Israel stance among some USA officials? 
    • Should we remain allies with the USA or perhaps turn to Russia and China for support? 
    • Are the soldiers tzaddikim? 
    • Is it possible that my putting on Tefillin actually caused harm to our soldiers? 
    • What power do our actions have in impacting world events?
