Is there a double standard when it comes to farbrengens? We often see alcohol being shared to elevate the joy, warmth, and camaraderie of a Chassidic gathering. So if alcohol is acceptable, why isn't marijuana?

Is everything in the Torah meant to be taken literally? When studying and reading the Torah, it is easy to get confused by the balance between historical facts and metaphors. Because Jewish teachings and commentaries, especially in Chassidus, often reveal deep spiritual meanings behind the text, many people ask: did these biblical stories literally happen exactly as written, or are they just spiritual metaphors?

Often, we are taught to tackle life by first fighting the bad before doing good. But Lechatchila Ariber offers a completely different approach: jump straight over the obstacle. By recognizing that the world's underlying reality is already filled with godliness we can bypass our perceived hardships and elevate our perspective from the very beginning.

At the very end of Pesach, there is a unique seuda known as the Moshiach Seuda, where we eat matzah, drink four cups of wine, and sing the Rabbeim’s niggunim. But where does this custom come from, and why do we eat this special seuda at the very end of Pesach? What does it have to do with Moshiach, and what is its significance?

Why do Lubavitcher Chassidim place such a strong emphasis on the Rebbe? This question comes up often—there are many rabbanim and roshei yeshiva, so why is there such a central focus on the Rebbe, why are his pictures so commonly displayed, where does this strong connection come from, and is it something unique to Lubavitch or does it have roots in earlier Jewish history?

Answered by Rabbi Mendy Wolf

Why are we careful to eat handmade matzah as opposed to machine matzah? While modern machines are faster and cleaner, they cannot provide the required human spiritual intention (kavana) necessary to bake the "bread of faith" for Passover.

What’s the difference between adding to the Torah, which is forbidden, and going beyond the letter of the law? If adding is not allowed, why aren’t chumros considered a problem? Where is the line between a chumra and actually changing the Torah?
