Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Chassidus applied to Vayeira Why did G-d appear to Abraham and what does that teach us? Why did Abraham turn away from G-d to greet guests? Doesn’t that seem rude? Why would a benevolent G-d ask Abraham to kill his son? And why did Abraham comply without question? Why do we teach our children this violent story? How were the angels able to eat with Abraham when they are spiritual beings that don’t consume physical food? Why did Sarah laugh when she heard that she would have a child at age 90? Why did Abraham protest G-d's plan to destroy the evil city of Sodom? Why was Lot saved? Is the forecasted huge solar storm perhaps a sign of the sun being removed from its shield after Moshiach comes? How much should one invest in lottery tickets? Is there a guaranteed segulah that works in order to become wealthy? What should be our attitude toward gambling? How can I convince my friend to stop gambling away his money in casinos? What should I do about discovering my father watching inappropriate content? How do we distinguish between Taliban fundamentalism and l’havdil the “fundamentalism” described in the Torah? Chassidus question: What is the experience of “taanug in Elokus” supposed to look or feel like?
