Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Aftermath of the horrific Sydney massacre What inner strength (netzach and hod) does Chanukah offer us? What are the souls of the kedoshim experiencing now? We still cannot fathom this terrible tragedy. Any words of wisdom? Why would G-d allow it to happen? How can we call G-d kind and compassionate in face of this horror? During the time of the Greeks the Jews would hide their observance due to the danger involved. How is today different? What is the special significance of this day? What comes next? What is the connection between the eighth day of Chanukah and Shemini Atzeres, completing the high holiday season? How will it work after Moshiach comes and we light eight candles on the first night? What is the significance of the new moon? Why was finding pure olive oil so significant? What's the connection between Chanukah and education? What is the significance of it being a rabbinic holiday? Why is chassidus compared to oil? Does Shammai not hold that we have to grow each day in holiness? Why is chapter 67 in Tehillim printed in the shape of a menorah? What should we focus on in the month of Teves? What are we celebrating on Hei Teves? How did the Rebbe instruct us to observe this day? Is there a connection between Chanukah and Hei Teves? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? Why did Joseph ask everyone to leave the room when he revealed his identity to his brothers? Why did Joseph not inform his father over the 22 years that he is alive? Zos Chanukah Rosh Chodesh Teves Chanukah Hei Teves Vayigash How should we react to Mamdani's visit to the Ohel?

Almost Daily Jewish Wisdom at Beit Hamidrash of Woodland Hills
Shapiro
The Rebbe encourages organizing farbrengens even when results aren't immediately visible, explaining that words of Torah and Chassidus inevitably affect the soul—especially among Bnei Torah. He offers chizuk and clarifies that in the future, the body will illuminate the soul. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5938
The Rebbe links the receipt of the letter to Yud Tes Kislev, Rosh Hashanah for Chassidus. He highlights material and spiritual acts of gemilus chasadim, urges integrating Chassidus into public study, and blesses lasting inspiration from the Yom Tov throughout the year. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5935
The Rebbe explains that lack of change is not misfortune but a call for real effort. Blessing comes through action, especially in shidduch and settling in Eretz HaKodesh. With renewed initiative and bitachon, success will follow. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5945
The Rebbe thanks the writer for accounts of the Rabbeim and notes the Torah's purposeful order. He expresses surprise that no farbrengen from Yud-Tes Kislev was mentioned, emphasizing that its words of Torah and Chassidus should leave a lasting imprint on the entire year ahead. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5944
The Rebbe addresses disorder in communal tax payments, urging structured responsibility and mutual accountability. He teaches that Torah-guided unity, even at personal cost, brings lasting spiritual and material blessing to the entire community, especially around Yud-Tes Kislev. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5943
The Rebbe expresses appreciation for conveyed regards, encourages renewed commitment inspired by Yud-Tes Kislev, and emphasizes spreading Chassidus. He outlines proper preparation and character refinement before shechita studies, urging full devotion to Torah and mitzvot. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5940
The Rebbe reassures that delayed replies are due to heavy responsibilities, not disregard, and urges resilience. He stresses the necessity of the Talmud and Talmud Torah, anticipates good news from the Yud-Tes Kislev farbrengen, and encourages using Chanukah to spread Yiddishkeit and Chassidus. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5939
The Rebbe urges holding farbrengens in Tomchei Temimim on Yud-Tes Kislev and drawing students from other yeshivos. He stresses extra effort to attract Bnei Torah to Chassidus, noting that through the Alter Rebbe's mesirus nefesh, followers are granted strength in Torah, yiras Shamayim, and middos. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5937
The Rebbe strengthens the discouraged writer, noting that opposition and difficulties have existed since Moshe Rabbeinu's time. He emphasizes that today the work is easier, the path already paved, and Kislev teaches to increase with strength, faith, and perseverance. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5936
The Rebbe instructs to distribute Chanukah money as in previous years, including students in cases of doubt. He emphasizes correcting printing errors in texts and requests detailed reports on Yud Kislev farbrengens and gatherings, especially in Kfar Chabad. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5933
This week I have two stories for you. The first is about a carpenter who disappears, a wife who won't stop waiting, and a menorah that had been in the family for generations.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: How can we possibly address the horrific terror attack on Jews celebrating Chanukah in Sydney leaving 16 of our people dead? Ad mosai?! What does G-d want of us? How could this happen on Chanukah, which is about conquering darkness with light? And demonstrating this in the streets with a public menorah as the Rebbe instructed? How can we ever explain the tragic murder of any innocent person, let alone a shliach, when we are told that shluchei mitzvah einan nizokin? Where was the protection from above, especially considering that Chanukah draws down from the highest levels of G-dliness, eight above seven? Is it safe to light public menorahs? What do we do about this – physically and spiritually? How can we not feel deep despair and want to give up on Judaism? How do we celebrate Chanukah and learn its lessons in face of this tragedy? What are the primary lessons of Chanukah? Why do we mark the holiday by lighting flames rather than commemorating the victory in the battle against our enemies? What does the light actually represent? What was the war about between the Greeks and the Jews? Did it also include a civil war between the Jewish Hellenists and the rest of the community? Why do we light the candles in the evening, at the door facing outside, and why eight candles – differently than the menorah lighting in the Holy Temple? Why are we not allowed to benefit from the light of the Chanukah candles? Why did the Rebbe institute the lighting of public menorahs? What is the basis of Hillel and Shammai's different opinions about the order of lighting the Chanukah candles? How will we light the candles after Moshiach comes? How to navigate when you're at rock bottom with barely any support?Can we apply the story of hearing the child's cry to Hashem and His people? Does Miketz hint to the end of golus? Chanukah Dealing with harsh difficulties Miketz
