In what has now become a staple in so many people’s lives, 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 and great care has to be taken when speaking openly, 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 week after week. 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? In inimitable “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 Rebbeim, 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. All episodes are immediately available for viewing in the MLC's archive and can be downloaded as MP3s for listening on the go. Questions may be submitted anonymously at meaningfullife.com/mylife.

May I offer just a couple of messages about this subject as no one else has spoke up. First message: Let’s use this time of Eis Rotzoin to make good resolutions to do acts of goodness and kindness! Why when a tragedy strikes do we all of a sudden say how can we change even a little? Let’s start with the basics of adding in acts of goodness and kindness, a little bit every day. It can be like Yosef when he asked the chief butler and chief baker why there were so upset? Or saying hi to a fellow… Read more »
If you would “Applie the chassidus”you teach in your own life.
You would not think like this about this special Jem of a yid.
You expressed the sentiment so well! Yasher Koach for articulating what is or should be on our hearts. In addition, one of the greatest miracles is the unity of Klal Yisroel hopefully signifying to the Aibishter that we can we really do it and we are really readu for Moshiach..KiIsh Echad biLev Echad.
There’s a crime of saying a lie about another Jew.
There’s a crime to agree with a witch hunt.(with Jew haters)
he never pleaded guilty to any crime.
A Jew hater said he’s guilty, so now your Going to have the chutzpah to say he did a crime!!

A Yid from Montreal,Canada

perhaps this was a personal burden on all these people celebrating . i don’t know him nor his family personally but the last 8 years suffered ( to some extent ) the injustice and pain of a fellow jew , it really effected me and my life so this is not only about celebrating HIS release but to some extent mine too as this had become personal. i’m sure this wasn’t just me and it applies to all these people celebrating. This is such a relief to all klal yisroel. It also signifies that Hashem truly can do the impossible… Read more »
How can we reconcile the fact that yenikas hachitzoniyus exists and that the Tanya says that darkness isn’t an existence, it is just the absence of light? Or are they two separate things? There’s darkness which is just confusion and evil which is a reality?
9,311 immigrations and child labor convictions were handed down. They were completely expunged from his record. The tax fraud would not have happened if the judge would have been fair. She had shares in the prisons systems. She made money on his arrest. so she wanted his blood, she appointed a trustee who we have proof intimidated the buyers who were ready to pay full price for agri, so that he would have been able to pay back his creditors.. what did he do wrong??? Get off your sanctimonious high horses for real!
