Ep. 514: How Should We React to the Mass Exploding Pagers and the Latest Events in Lebanon?

Listen Later

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:How can Elul help us during these trying times? 

  • How do the Thirteen Divine Attributes of Compassion empower us especially when we are faced with difficult challenges and war? 
  • What do the last days of Elul teach us today?  
  • When we say the King is in the field in Elul, do we mean the Divine essence or some of His characteristics? 
  • When it says Hashem is in the field and greets everyone with a beautiful smiling face, does that mean Hashem will automatically respond positively to our requests?
  • How do we explain the fact that not all our requests are fulfilled, and sometimes far worse than that? 
  • Is there a way to contact G-d directly and have a conversation and get a direct answer? 
  • How can we know who the King is, especially if He is undercover wearing regular clothes instead of royal garments? 
    • What do the names of these portions and their opening verses teach us? 
    • What is its connection to Elul and Rosh Hashana? 
    • What does it mean when it says Hashem will hide his face from us? 
    • What is the difference between tzimtzum and hester panim? 
    • Didn’t G-d say to Moshe that no one can see My face and live, so what additional concealment is caused by our transgressions? 
      • What is their function? 
      • When do we recite them? 
      • How do we understand the different customs about the time when we say selichos? 
      • Why don’t we say Selichos during the Ten Days of Teshuva? 
        • How should we react to the mass exploding pagers in Lebanon? 
        • Will this help protect us? 
        • Are there any instances in Torah where we saw similar events? 
        • What additional things can we do to thank G-d for helping protect us from the terrorists in Lebanon? 
        • Is this a prelude to the geulah? 

          • Am I responsible for someone else’s transgressions? Follow-up 
           
          What do we learn from Parshas Netzavim-Vayeilech? Selichos War in Israel
