Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:How should we respond to the latest tragic Washington murders? 

Where is Hashem in all of this? Is there something we can do? Should we stop displaying our Jewish identity, not go to shul, remove Jewish symbols? Why do we read this Torah chapter before Shavuos? Who owns the Torah? Can anyone claim royalties? What personal and global lessons does it offer us for our times? What is the personal significance of this holiday? What is the Torah, and why is the giving of the Torah such a monumental event? What is the deeper meaning of so many seemingly trivial details in the Torah? Why is it important for everyone to go to shul on Shavuos to hear the Ten Commandments if we have already heard them in previous years? If the “entire Torah” is about loving another, why do we see many Torah observant people who are not loving? Does the “entire Torah” include the inner dimension of Torah? Why do the Ten Commandments begin with describing G-d as taking us out of Egypt and not as Creator? And why not G-d that will bring the final redemption? What does Anochi signify? Why were spouses commanded not to be intimate before Mattan Torah? Isn’t intimacy a sacred act? Why do we dance with the Torah on Simchas Torah and not on Shavuos? Why do we celebrate receiving the Torah when we didn't even have a chance to read it yet?  Is there a Maamar Chassidus on the book of Ruth that you would suggest we study?
