8:00pm: Applied Chassidus with R. Jacobson

Following the major success and popularity of the first broadcasts of MyLife: Chassidus Applied, Rabbi Simon Jacobson will air Episode Five tonight Sunday, February 9th, 10th of Adar here on CrownHeights.info beginning at 8:00pm. This weeks class is titled “Can Chassidus Help Us Become Better, Happier, and Healthier People?

Should a person be forced to conform to community standards or be condemned for living outside of the box? Can you help a person who has a problem but is not interested in seeking help? Is there a solution to a marriage lacking intimacy? These among other questions will be the subject of tonight’s episode of MyLife: Chassidus Applied.

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 answers for us?

Rabbi Simon Jacobson says, “YES! Torah does in fact have all the answers!” and invites you to join the refreshing and illuminating conversation every Sunday at 8PM during the live airing of MyLife: Chassidus Applied. “The time has come to reclaim the most precious stone of the crown given to us to both prevent problems and to heal from anything that comes our way,” emphasizes Rabbi Jacobson.

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 Rabbeim, 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.

Topics to be addressed in Sunday’s hour-long broadcast include:

  • Individuality vs. conformity: Should we strive to conform to community standards or is it ok to be out-of-the-box?
  • Can you help someone who doesn’t want to be helped?
  • How to deal with a spouse who is uninterested in intimacy
  • When can a marriage be called hopeless?
  • How to bring joy into an unhappy life.

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