Stump The Rabbi

Stump The Rabbi — Rabbi Noam Wagner Chof Beis Shevat marks the yartzeit of the Rebbe’s wife, Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson. More than just a date on the calendar, this day represents a monumental shift in Chabad and a new stage in the revelation of Moshiach.

In this episode of Stump the Rabbi, Rabbi Yosef Katzman explores a powerful and often misunderstood question: Are we allowed to “test” Hashem? We’re often taught that giving tzedakah brings blessing, and many people quote the idea that Hashem will repay 10 times the amount that you gave. But is that really how it works? Can a person give charity with the expectation of receiving more in return or...

School often feels like a repetitive cycle: listen to the teacher, memorize the information, take the test, and forget it all a week later.
