Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
What should be our focus as we begin the third week of Elul?
- What is unique about the month of Elul?
- Why is the entire month of Elul not a holiday due to the revelation of the Divine compassion during this month?
- Why does Elul include V’Dodi Li (from above), which seems to be primarily during the holidays in Tishrei?
- Why am I not seeing the blessings that I asked for from the “king in the field”? What else can I do to help reveal these blessings?
- Did the Rebbe say that the parable of the “king in the field” teaches us that influential people need to go into the fields to greet regular people and make sure they have everything they need physically and spiritually?
- Is there a correlation between the king leaving his palace and going into the field to the concept of dira b'tachtonim, the king leaving the higher worlds and dwelling in the lower worlds?
- If we are meeting the “king in the field” why do we wait an entire month to coronate Him?
- Is there a connection between Elul and education?
- How can an emotionally unhealthy person prepare for the New Year?
- What can be done about the dissonance between being extremely religious in certain areas and despicable in human relationships?
- What is the significance of this day?
- How did Chassidus come to address the abovementioned dissonance?
- How does Chai Elul infuse more life into Elul to help us get ready for the new year?
- Do we know of other “new” souls besides the Alter Rebbe?
- What lessons can we learn from this week’s Parsha?
