Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
Chassidus applied to Yud Tes Kislev
What is the most important lesson we can learn from the Alter Rebbe’s imprisonment and redemption in our daily lives?
Since Chassidus empowers and heals our souls, why was it not given earlier?
How could have heavenly angels mistakenly opposed the revelation of Chassidus?
How was the Alter Rebbe’s spreading of Chassidus different than that of his predecessors?
Why did other Jewish communities see the Alter Rebbe’s work as an existential threat to Judaism? And did they ever apologize to him afterward?
How do we explain Reb Shmuel Munkes’ words to the Alter Rebbe before he was arrested “if you’re a Rebbe no harm will come to you:” 1) Didn’t the Alter Rebbe know this on his own? 2) We see that true tzaddikim were harmed throughout history?
What is the comparison of Yud Tes Kislev to Yetziyas Mitzrayim?
Is their significance in Yud Tes Kislev leading right into Chanukah?
What was the significance of printing the Tanya in countries all over the world?
