Ep. 487: What Did the Rebbe Mean That ”All We Have to Do Is Open Your Eyes”? When I Open My Eyes I See Chaos in the World, Not Moshiach

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
What does this week’s Torah portion and time period teach us today? 

• Lessons from Adar 
• Parshas Vayakhel: What power is there in gathering together? 
• Parshas Ki Tissa:  

• Should we be doing anything different?   
• Are there any parallels between the war in Ukraine and in Gaza? 
• Why not return any part of Israel? 
• What can we learn from the demonic passion of our enemies? 

• Are we allowed to try to force G-d's hand to bring Moshiach? 
• Why is intensifying Torah and Mitzvos in order to bring Moshiach not an attempt at forcing G-d's hand? 
• Are we prohibited from controlling Israel until Moshiach comes? 
• If there is a question about controlling Israel, why was the Rebbe adamant about holding on to every inch of land?  

• What did the Rebbe mean when he said that the birurim are finished?  
• What does “open your eyes” mean? When I open my eyes I see chaos in the world, not Moshiach 
• Did anything change after 5750 regarding Moshiach’s imminent arrival?
