Ep. 581: Why Do We Increase in Joy During the Month of Adar?


Listen Later

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
 Adar 

  • Why do we increase in joy during this month? 
  • What unique opportunity does this month offer us? 
  • Can you begin your program about Adar with a piece of humor? 
  • Is this entire month filled with joy? 
  • What is the difference between the good mazal of Shevat and that of Adar? 
  • Is this a month when Iran will be held accountable just as it was with Persia of old? 
  • How do we reconcile the fact that ancient Persia allowed us to rebuild the second Temple and Rome destroyed it, with the tables being turned today with Iran being our enemy and the Western empires being our allies? 
  • Should we be praying for the innocent people of Iran? 
  • Which events during the 1991 Persian Gulf War did the Rebbe cite as signs that the world is ready for Moshiach — and that all we need to do is open our eyes? 
  • What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week’s Torah parsha? 
  • How do we create a sanctuary for G-d today? 
  •  What is the significance of the holy ark?
  • Can we compare G-d to energy?  
  • If physical existence is really Divine energy, what are we actually accomplishing when we perform mitzvos with material objects and make blessings on actual foods? 
  • What is the difference between chapters 11 and 12 at the end of the Rambam? 
  • What positive lesson do we learn about breaking down walls to spread Chassidus? 

What are we to make of the uprisings in Iran? Terumah Understanding G-d Siyum HaRambam What do we learn from the President announcing a "National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving" on May 17th, which is Rosh Chodesh Sivan?
