What events happened with the Rebbe and Rebbetzin during the arrest on this day in 1927? What lessons do we learn from the word behaalotecho – raising the flame until it rises on its own? What is the deeper meaning behind Moshe’s words “where will I find meat”? If Moshe transcended physical meat, how could he pass on the command for the Jews to perform physical mitzvos, including bringing meat offerings? Could the people choose that the manna should taste like non-kosher food? What will change when non-kosher animals will be permitted in the future? Why are the details of every tribe leader’s offering repeated? How important is individuality in Judaism? What is the practical meaning of the Birchas Kohanim? Why do we thank the kohanim after they bless us? Does everyone have a custom to bless their children before Shabbos with the priestly blessing? Is it appropriate to embrace this custom? How do I find a sicha based on the date it was said? Why don't we find an emphasis on hisbonenus today? Behaalotecho Nasso How should we respond to the recent tragic deaths of young people in our community? What is the appropriate way to learn Torah and Chassidus? Follow-up With children leaving their hometowns to go on shlichus, how will their elderly parents be cared for? Are animals rewarded for helping us do mitzvos? How do I deal with guilt over past mistakes?","meta_description":"Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: 15 Sivan What is the significance of this day?
