Topics:
Vayeira
- What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week’s Torah parsha?
- Can you explain the story of the Rebbe Rashab crying as a child why Hashem doesn’t appear to him as He did to Abraham, and the Tzemach Tzedek’s response?
- Why is a bris such an important mitzvah that it was commanded to Abraham before the Torah was formally given?
- Why then are women not obligated to perform this mitzvah?
- What did the Tzemach Tzedek say that “Rashab” is the same letters as “basar” (reish, shin, beis)?
- Why did Abraham turn away from G-d to greet the guests?
- How is that different than Melchizedek blessing Abraham before G-d?
- Why doesn’t G-d bless us to be wealthy like Abraham?
- Why did Sarah laugh when she heard that she would give birth, and was it appropriate?
- What is the significance of Sarah instructing Abraham to send Yishmael and Hagar away?
- How can we justify the Akeidah; why would a compassionate G-d command Abraham to murder his son?
- Why was Abraham called Ivri?
New York City Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani
- Why is G-d not protecting the city that became the home of the Rebbeim from electing a racist mayor?
- Should we be afraid and run away if he wins the election?
- Should we grieve?
- Is this a sign that we should move to Israel?
- How is it possible that such a candidate is leading the race?
- What can we do about the situation?
- Is there anything we can apply today from Stalin’s downfall related to the Rebbe’s maamar and story about exclaiming three times hu-ra on Purim 5713?
How should we react to the recent, tragic, untimely death of a young man in Israel?
