Ep. 586: How Do We Honor the Rebbe’s Birthday?


Listen Later

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
 Yud Alef Nissan 

Pesach 

  • Do we say Gut Yom Tov today? 
  • How do we honor the Rebbe’s birthday? 
  • What is the single most important thing each of us should do on this special day? 
  • How did the Rebbe celebrate his birthday? 
  • What were the events that led to the things done for Yud Alef Nissan 5742 – eighty years? 
  • What is the significance of the number eleven? 
  • Is it significant that “peace in Israel” are the last words in Tehillim chapter 125, which we begin reciting today? 
  • Do some people receive answers from the Rebbe more than others?  


Miracles and Iran Seder 

  • What is the relevance of the war in Iran to Pesach? 
  • What's the underlying message of Pesach? 
  • What does it truly mean to be free?  
  • How is the energy of Nissan and Pesach different than that of ani l’dodi v’dodi li of Elul and Tishrei? 
  • Do I have to observe the holiday if I am experiencing financial difficulties, which cause stress and anxiety, antithetical to the theme of Passover? 
  • Why is Passover celebrated on the day the exodus happened, unlike Purim and Chanukah which are celebrated the day after the miracles happened?   
  • Why do we celebrate it every year? 
  • Why does Passover have three names? 
  • What can we learn from the great miracle of Shabbos HaGadol and the other miracles of the time about today’s miracles? 
  • How do we reconcile Chizkiyahu being criticized for not praising G-d's for His miracles with the ruling that one should not say Hallel every day – how do we find the right balance of acknowledging miracles in our lives? 
  • What can each of us do physically and spiritually to help protect all the innocent people and bring victory in the war against Iran? 
  • As an American who moved to Israel I am bemused by people questioning the safety of living here. 
  • How do we resolve a major conflict between husband and wife of how extreme we should be with our Pesach cleaning? 
  • Can you please share some memories of the Rebbe visiting different public Seders in Crown Heights? Why did he do so? 
  • Why did the Rebbe ask an artist to illustrate a special edition of the Haggadah for children?
