How do we determine when war is just? How do we understand the deeper cosmic battle between Rome (the Western World) and Persia (the Arab/Muslim World) How can we envision these battles leading us into the Geulah? How should we react to antisemitic and anti-Chabad rhetoric by media personalities? Is there anything positive that we can learn from this? Is it appropriate to wear patches with an image of the third temple? Do we continue increasing in joy throughout the entire month? How does joy empower us in challenging times? Is there a connection between the good mazal of joy and the Torah portions discussing the building of the Mishkan? What is the significance of building a sanctuary? How do we apply it to our lives today? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week’s Torah parsha? Why does the Torah repeat the details of building the mishkan? Adar Vayakhel-Pikudei Can brochos come to someone diagnosed with clinical depression beyond their control? How would you react to a “zealot” smashing a snowman that children built with the claim that it is an “idol”?","meta_description":"Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: War in Iran Should we be supporting this war?
