· Chassidus Applied to Chanukah
· What was the dispute between the Jews and the Greeks?

· What is the halachik and hashkafic explanation for public menorahs?
· Lessons from Miketz
· How do we explain the seemingly unacceptable behavior of the tribes?
· If you don’t like someone, is it better to be two-faced and speak nicely to the person, or behave like the tribes who couldn’t speak to Yosef?
· Since the purpose of Chassidus is to apply it to our lives, why was there a “kitrug” to prevent this?
· Why don’t we follow the Alter Rebbe’s directive to recite psalm 119 weekly?
