Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: 29 Tammuz: The bridge between 28 Sivan and 3 Tammuz 

• What should be our focus as we move from the third to the fourth month?

• How do we reconcile Gimmel Tammuz with the Rebbe telling us about the imminence of Moshiach’s coming? 
• Ad mosai – how much longer must we wait for the geulah? 
• Did the Rebbe make any statements that implied Gimmel Tammuz was about to happen, and did he give clear instructions for what he wanted us to do afterward?
• Why do we discuss fewer details about Gimmel Tammuz than about the day of the passing of the previous Rebbes? 
• How can one honor Gimmel Tammuz if they are unable to visit the Ohel?

• Is the Rebbe doing more miracles today than before Gimmel Tammuz? 
• Can we say that the Rebbe is Moshiach after Gimmel Tammuz? 

• What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week’s Torah parsha? 
• Is there a connection between Korach and Gimmel Tammuz? 
• What was the deeper reason for Korach’s opposition to Moses? 
• Was Korach like a “communist”? 
• Why did the children of Korach survive? 
• Why does it say that they “thought they were alive” when they were actually alive? 
• Were Dasan and Aviram total villains? Didn’t they allow themselves to get whipped instead of their brethren?
