8:00pm: Chassidus Applied with Rabbi Jacobson

Following the major success and popularity of the first broadcasts of MyLife: Chassidus Applied, Rabbi Simon Jacobson will air Episode 12 tonight, Sunday, April 6th (6 Nissan) here on CrownHeights.info, beginning at 8:00pm. This week’s class is titled “Maintaining Shalom Bayis During Pesach and Shliach Rivalry.”

Pesach is approaching and tensions are high. Within families, disagreements are more likely to occur. How do we deal with different standards and the demands of creating both a kosher and a frielichen Pesach?What did the Rebbe have to say about rivalry between Shluchim? And how can we honor parents who don’t seem to deserve honor? Rabbi Jacobson will answer all of these questions and more in his characteristic forthright manner.

Tune in for another hour-long dose of insights on practical and emotional matters that affect us today. These sessions are meant to inform, inspire and empower us with the teachings of Chassidus, helping us face any challenge and difficulty in our personal lives and relationships.

The topics in this Sunday’s hour-long broadcast will include:

•Shalom Bayis on Pesach
•Community Leader Rivalry
•Sexual Identity
•Honoring Abusive Parents
•Suicidal Thoughts

MyLife: Chassidus Applied addresses questions that many people are afraid to ask and others are afraid to answer. When asked about the sensitive topics he has been addressing, Rabbi Simon Jacobson commented, “I understand that the stakes are high, but the silence and lack of clarity on matters plaguing the community can no longer go unaddressed. The stakes of not providing answers are even higher.”

The on-going series has provoked a significant reaction from the community, with thousands of people viewing each live broadcast and hundreds of questions pouring in. At the root of every question and personal challenge tackled by the series is the overarching question: Does Judaism have the answers to my personal dilemmas?

In true “Jacobson fashion”, the broadcast answers people’s questions in simple, clear language while being heavily sourced. Each episode is jam-packed with eye-opening advice from the Rebbeim, gleaned from uncovering surprising gems in their letters, sichos and maamorim that address our personal issues with disarming relevance. Simultaneously, Rabbi Jacobson is able to crystallize a concept quickly, succinctly, and poignantly for any level of listener.

All episodes are immediately available for viewing in the MLC’s archive and can be downloaded as MP3’s for listening on the go.
