Listen Later

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
What can we learn from the LA fires? 

  • Should we see them as a punishment? 
  • How do our good deeds help prevent disasters? 
  • Are they a sign of better things to come? 
  • What does it mean that after a fire we become rich? 
  • Are events like this foretold in the Torah? 
  • Why are the prophets cryptic? 
    • What is the central theme of this Torah chapter? 
    • What personal and global lessons does it offer us? 
    • What does it teach us about suffering? 
    • Why is Moshe known by the name given to him by Pharoah’s daughter and not the one given to him by his parents?   
    • What do we learn from the incident of Moshe killing the Egyptian? 
    • Do Dasan and Aviram get any “credit” for informing on Moshe and thereby leading him to his wife and ultimately G-d appearing to him? 
    • Why did Moshe accuse G-d of “doing evil to these people”? 
      • How does Dan salvaging lost items relate to the winter months? 
        • What guidance is offered to us by the story in Midrash about didan notzach? 
        • Why are our efforts not working when “nothing stands in the way of will”? 
          • Can we pray for a local sports team to win a game? 
          • How should I deal with my husband who is consumed with watching football? 

            • Shemos What is the connection between the month of Teves and the tribe of Dan? What can we learn from Hei Teves regarding freeing the hostages? What did the Rebbe say about beginning to prepare for Yud Shevat thirty days earlier? 
             
            If the Tenth of Teves is so intense, why does the fast not begin the night before? 
             
            What should our attitude be to sports?
