Reply To: Chidushim on Daf Yomi

I heard in the name of the Satmar Rav, Rav Yoel ztz’l it says מראשית השנה עד אחרית שנה from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, but why doesn’t it say עד אחרית השנה? He explained that in the beginning of the year we think this will be the special year of redemption but at the end it is like any other year.
I heard that it says by Betzalel לחשוב מחשבות he had to know where to put what was donated. If someone had the proper mindset, as the Alshich Hakadash explains that what we give to Hashem was ידבנו לבו the desire to give through his heart as Hashem does not really need it because He has everything, he would make maybe, the aron with it. The Dubner Magid says that thereby he showed
that he loved Hashem more than himself by willing to give up something he loves for something else and showing that the second thing is more beloved than the first.
