Tune in this Sunday night for the next episode of MyLife: Chassidus Applied, which will address these sensitive issues. This hour-long dose of insight is meant to inform, inspire and empower us by applying the teachings of Chassidus to help us face practical and emotional challenges and difficulties in our personal lives and relationships.
The topics in this Sunday’s hour-long broadcast will include:
· What defines a Lubavitcher?
· Is shlichus the only measure of success in Chabad?
· I want to go on shlichus, but have nowhere to go?
· How do we prepare for Gimmel Tammuz?
· Tools for Mediating Conflict
· How to approach a teacher about their dress
· Is Avodas ha’tefilah relevant today?
· Personal Prayer – When, where and how?
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?

When you start asking “:well how do you define tzines?” Therein lies the problem. Rabbanim of CH and other major poskim clarly define what tzinus constitutes. The questioner in the episode clearly defined a case where a teacher at a mosad should not be dressed the way she is. Enough trying to defend those who are supposed to lead by example.

But there is one point I find confusing. It sounds like you’re evading the problem of Tznius. Judge favorably… Tznius isn’t just chitzoniyus it’s mainly pnimiyus… Just because ppl in boro-park complain about our Tznius… We focus too much on Tznius and not on more important stuff… I think it is actually the opposite – Tznius is not adressed enough in our community, it has become almost a taboo subject, and judging favorably deffinitely is not going to help it. Something must be done, and I don’t mean Tznius police standing at corners with measuring sticks, but we must bring… Read more »

Thank you Rabbi Jacobson for am incredible community service. I learn so much every week and our whole family discusses and reviews what you said at our dinner table thru-out the week. Yasher koach. M’chayil el chayil.

The Jacobsons have the gift of speech, thank you for sharing your beautiful knowledge.
Reb Simon,
