Description

• Chassidus Applied to Yud Tes-Chof Kislev and Vayeishev 0:24
• How can we say that the Yidden had Bechirah by matan torah - Hashem picked up the mountain over their heads?  09:20
• Is there anything wrong with listening to Jewish music that are not niggunim?  13:36
• Is there a reason the Rebbe does not put so much emphasis on Rebbetzin Devorah Leah's story? It seems that Chassidim feel very emotional about it, and I was wondering if there is an explanation as to why, for example the Rebbe does not say a sicha every year about it?  17:05
• What's the regard that we, as Dor Hashvi Chassidim (who never knew any other Rabeim) should be having with the Chassidus of the six previous Rabbeim - besides for the Horaos the Rebbe clearly gave (i.e.  Chitas, Tanya, Likuttei Torah, Torah Ohr ex.)? Shouldn't we be only/ mainly learning our generations Chassidus? But then what about the rest of Chassidus?  21:18
• Should I be nervous when something comes too easy, if it says yagati umatzati taamin? 26:43
• Why do we teach and give Chassidus to young children? Why don't we hold it back a bit so they can appreciate it when they grow up?  29:00
• How can one attain real bittul if one can actually have the Rebbes will be his own?  31:43
• What's a mashpia for - we know she is to connect you to the Rebbe but how?  35:08
• What is Torah's perspective on therapy? If Torah has all the answers on how to live a healthy life, then why the need for therapy? And if Torah does, why does it not feel applicable? If it isn't, then what's our approach to this all?  38:43
• What should I do if my feelings are numb? I've been through some really painful things in the past few years and until a little while ago, I felt the pain, it hurt, I cried, but now I just don't feel anything anymore.  I also stopped feeling for things in Yiddishkeit. What's the way to start feeling my emotions again?  43:15
• What is a practical way to think of/ deal with having depression and anxiety disorder?  47:27
• When an emotion arouses what should one do with it?  49:48
• How can I use my capabilities of doing all my dreams now when I am only in high school, is it true that my fullest potential is kind of blocked by my position as a student?  52:00
• Why does hashem set people up for failure? Like when Moshe hit the rock, Hashem purposely made him hit the rock so the yidden wouldn't get into Eretz Yisroel etc. 54:19
• Are all neshamos the same? If not, what makes them different?  56:44
• Will we turn into malachim?  59:21
• Will the world ever end?  01:00:34
• Do tzadikim start out perfect? if not how would someone know if they are a tzadik?  01:02:17
• What does chassidish mean?  01:04:44
• How do you deal with bad influences?  01:05:56
• If time is a creation down here and there's no concept of time above, why do we say a Neshama is busy for 30 days after it's niftar?  01:07:16
•  When the Sforno talks about Moshe hitting the rock, he brings in 3 types of miracles. The first one is Tzadikim davening. Why does it mention specifically Tzadikim, can't all yidden daven? And if it's specifically for Tzadikim why are we all encouraged to daven when someone is unwell?  01:10:04
•  I like learning geography and world history, but it's not really chochmas haumas - so am I allowed to learn it?  01:11:13
• What does it mean hesech ha’daas in relation to validating your emotions?  01:11:50
• The Rebbe says that we have finished our avodah and we are ready to greet Moshiach, but the Rebbe also says that we haven't done enough and need to do even more. Which one is it? 01:13:42
