Ep. 481: How Should We React to Jews Sympathizing With Our Enemies?

Listen Later

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
What lessons can we learn from this time period about the war Israel is waging? 

  • What resources and strengths are we given to help us fight our battles? 
    • Since the shechina would have remained below if they had not sinned, what is accomplished through our service today? 
    • Can we apply the transforming of shtus d’leumas zeh to shtus d’kedusha to secular music? 
    • When was Basi L’Gani first delivered by the Frierdiker Rebbe? 
    • Is there a connection between Basi L’Gani and Rebbetzin Rivkah, in whose honor the maamar was said? 
      • What do we learn from the central theme of this parsha? 
      • What did Moses and Joshua do to successfully defeat the Amalekites that we can learn from today?  
      • How do we collect a double portion of spiritual and physical “manna” blessings today as we are in the Erev Shabbos before the geulah? 
      • Is there a connection between the serpent in Eden and the staff of Moshe? 
        • Should the fact that we are in exile in any way change our ownership of Israel and our need to protect ourselves from our enemies? 
        • Is there any merit to those Jews that argue against the Jewish people controlling the land of Israel? 
        • Are we prohibited from visiting Israel as tourists? From buying property in Israel and living there, or having a Jewish state in Israel before the Messiah comes? 
          • What attitude should we have to the case brought by South Africa against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ)? 
          • How should we react to Jews sympathizing with our enemies? 
          • Are our critics reminding us how important we are and how it's our responsibility to be the best people we can possibly be? 
          • I am distraught: What can I do about my daughters who support our enemies? 
          • And how about those looking like ultra-orthodox claiming they are neturei karta, and marching with Hamas? 
          • Who are these Jews? What is wrong with them? 
          • Are they like the Hellenists? 
          • Why do some of our biggest enemies come from within? 
          • Should we excommunicate them? 
          • How should we react when we see people ripping down posters with photos of the hostages?   
          • Should we be printing and posting pictures of hostages demanding their release?
