Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
\nChassidus applied to Rosh Chodesh Kislev
\nWhat is the significance of this day and can we learn from it?
\nWhat is the theme and energy of Kislev?
\nHow to grow through setbacks?
\nWhat was the origin of the Kinus Hashluchim?
\nLessons from Toldos
\nWhat can couples experiencing difficulties having children learn from Yitzchak and Rivkah?
\nWhat do we learn from the battle of Esau and Yaakov in Rivkah\u2019s womb?
\nWhy did Yaakov have to dress up as Esau in order to steal the blessings?
\nWhat justification is there for Yaakov to steal Esau\u2019s blessings?
\nWhy did only Rivkah, and not Yitzchak understand the status of Esau?
\nWhy couldn\u2019t Yitzchak correct himself and bless Esau with the brochos he mistakenly gave Yaakov?
\nWhy was Yitzchak not spared the pain of seeing Esau become a wicked person as Abraham was by having him pass away earlier?
\nWhat was the yeshiva of Shem and Eiver?
\nWays to find a shidduch \u2013 follow-up
\nComments: The importance of asking questions
\nWomen in the Torah
\nWhy does the Torah rarely mention the girls in the families?
\nHow should I respond to someone who criticizes the Torah for being a patriarchal system that keeps men in power?
\nWhy don\u2019t women wear a yarmulke?
\nChassidus question: Based on the rule that the highest levels fall to the lowest ones, 1) why did Rivkah and Yaakov give up on Esau and not let him receive the blessings in the hope he would do teshuva? 2) Does this rule apply to the monsters in history as well, like Stalin?
