Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:


Chassidus applied to this time of year

Why are these days between Yom Kippur and Sukkos so powerful?

What is the lesson from these days?

Why is the day after Yom Kippur called “G-d’s Name”?

What is the proper way to greet people during these days?

What is the significance of new year and holiday blessings?

How do our blessings and best wishes help?

Can we bless others with the priestly blessing even if we are not kohanim?

Though I am a simple person, can I bless others?

Is it appropriate to bless people with “may you always have good news to share”?

Post Yom Kippur

If everyone was forgiven on Yom Kippur, why are some people being punished and suffering?

Why do we sound the shofar at the end of Yom Kippur?

What's the difference between a regular shofar and the “great shofar” that will be sounded when Moshiach comes?

Is there a connection between the call of the “great shofar” and Yom Kippur’s impact on all Jews to do teshuva?

Why do we sing Napoleons March at the end of Yom Kippur and not at the beginning?

Why Napoleon’s March when the Alter Rebbe was so opposed to him?

Why is Yom Kippur exclusively a day of repentance when a person should be repenting every day?

To what extent can Yom Kippur help a person who hasn't repented all year?

Why did G-d send Jonah to a non-Jewish city and encourage them to repent?

How can Sukkos help us in this time of war in Israel?

What is the essential message of Sukkos?

How does the Sukkah help us internalize the light of Yom Kippur?

Why is Sukkos a time of great celebration?

What is the difference between Sukkah and the four species?

Are the four species spiritual weapons?

How can we maximize the blessings of the Sukkah considering that it is the only mitzvah that encompasses our entire bodies?

If the sechach represents the clouds of glory that protected us in the wilderness, why didn't it provide protection on October 7th?

Why was pouring water during Simchas Beis HaShoeivah considered such a joyous event?

How did the Rebbe revitalize this celebration? And why in the streets?

War in Israel

What more can we do?

Is it appropriate to invoke in a note to the Rebbe the merit of his mother to have the hostages released?

What is the background behind the Poalei Tzedek group, established in the town of Lubavitch, who would wake up early every morning to say Tehillim and learn Torah together, and should we recreate that today?
