MyLife: Chassidus Applied

Ep. 531: How Does Basi L’Gani Capture the Central Theme and Mission of Our Seventh Generation?

Listen Later

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
Yud Shevat – 75 Years 

  • What is the significance of this milestone? 
  • How does Basi L’Gani capture the central theme and mission of our seventh generation? 
  • What lessons do we learn from chapter 15 of Basi L’Gani? 
  • What is the chiddush that the most hidden treasures – l'maaleh maaleh ad ayn kaytz – are splurged on to the foot soldiers empowering them to be victorious over the enemies? 
  • What did each Rebbe add to the understanding of tzimtzum? 
  • Why did the maamar Basi L’Gani 5745 create a buzz by Chassidim? 
  • What are the practical applications of knowing that there are tzimtzumim before the tzimtzum ha’rishon (as explained in Basi L’Gani 5745)? 
  • What does chassidus mean when it refers to Hashem’s essence as light – etzem ha’ohr? 
  • Why is ohr so fundamental in uniting G-d with existence? 
  • What’s the point of knowing that G-d is so great that we can never really know him? 
  • Can we say that spreading the teachings of Chassidus by the Rebbeim is an expression of “splurging the treasures” (bizbuz ha'otzros)?  
  • How do we apply the statement that all sevenths are precious? 
  • If the Alter Rebbe opposed France and the West, why did the Frierdiker Rebbe settle in the United States? 
  • What’s the best way to receive a response from the Rebbe today?
    • What is the central theme of this Torah chapter? 
    • What personal and global lessons does it offer us? 
    • Can we apply the continuing story of exodus to the hostages today?  
    • Is G-d hardening the hearts of Hamas? 
    • Does the recent release of some hostages reflect the energy of redemption we read about in these weekly portions? How do we tap into this energy? 
    • Once G-d promised Jacob that He Himself would redeem him and his children, why did He appoint Moshe to lead the Jews out of Egypt?
