Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: 
What can we learn from Hei Teves about today’s war 

• Where does the expression “didan notzach” come from? 


• What does this day signify? 

• Why don’t we continue growing in holiness and light more candles after Chanukah? 

• How does the reconciliation of Joseph and his brothers help us understand and navigate today’s events? 


• What can we learn from Joseph revealing himself to his brothers and from his reassuring them that G-d brought me to Egypt to save lives?  


• What are some lessons from Joseph’s trials and tribulations? 

• Why are our actions not achieving the desired results of ending this nightmare once and for all? 


• What else can we do? 


• Should we transform the enemy’s expressions into positive messages? 


• Should we be organizing large public tehillim gatherings? Make more farbrengens? More activities with children? Special prayers from brides and grooms? 


• My heart is broken over the hostages that were accidentally killed. What else does Hashem want from us? 


• How should I explain to my children why our tzedakah on Chanukah did not resolve the war? 

• When there is more negative energy, does that indicate that there is also more positive energy? 


• How do we know we are closer to Moshiach 

• Why don’t the Muslims/Arabs and so many others accept the explicit and undeniable words in the Torah that G-d gave the Promised Land to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their children – the Jewish people? 


• Did Jews occupy the land of the Canaanites? 


• Is it correct to point out to American critics their hypocrisy considering their displacing the native Indians in this country?  

• How do we address the testimony of the presidents of major universities before Congress? 


• What’s the best way to communicate with those siding with our enemies? 


• Why is there such a double standard when it comes to Israel? 

Does Chanukah continue to provide us with strength and guidance?  Empowering Torah Portions   Actions Is this a special time?   Who owns the Land of Israel? How should we react to antisemitism on campuses and in academia? 

• How do we address the testimony of the presidents of major universities before Congress? 


• What’s the best way to communicate with those siding with our enemies? 


• Why is there such a double standard when it comes to Israel?
