    How many Brreslover or Lubaviltcher chasidim do we need to light a candle? We cannot replace it as the previous one always burns better.

    Meshiach will come when we are the lowest level such that we exhausted all hope from outside and the only hope we have left is our Father in the Heaven. It says that there is no day where its curse is not worse than the previous day. This might be good for us as we come closer to the coming of Meshisch.

    The holy Berdichever was looking in his shul under all the tables on Kol Nidrei night. The chasidim did not know what he was doing. He said, RBSO, even though it was a mitzva to eat, I cannot find one drunk under the table. hameivin yavin.

    When a fish comes out of water, it jumps around indicating that eat is happy out water but in reality it is dying. Similarly, without Torah one is a fish out water, dying.

    For this reason a tzadik ben tzadik is greater than a tzadik ben rasha, as one must live up to the father.

    The Mayanei Shel Torah in the name of Rebbi Meir of Premishlan explains, zeh keli veanvehu, if one recognizes Hashem on his own, is beautiful elokei avi vaaromemenhu but if he relies on his father’s accomplishment is only an aggrandizement, gaiva.

    We find by Eliyahu Hanovi when he said at HAr Hakarmel to scream louder that Hashem should hear it. It only applies to the shtiler, quiet shmonei esrei having individual kavonos.

    Also let us keep in mind, about EY, the pasuk Bereishis (42 21) one said to his brother. But we are responsible on our brother that we saw his pain as he begged us and we did not listen that is why this tragedy comes to us.

    I heard,we are asked קבעת עתים לתורה, have you designated the times to learn Torah and not קבעת תורה לעתים, designate Torah to the times. We have to adjust our times to the Torah. One should not say the times have changed, so the Torah changes. I heard a mashel, parable on this. A person bought a hat which was too small for him, so he went the smith to squeeze his head to make it fit rather than extend the hat.

    The four letters on the dreidel each teach us a lesson. According to the Ben Ish Cha,i the gimel has its leg towards rhe dalet indicating to help the poor,. gomel Dalim. The heh teaches us to give the baal teshuva an extra openning to reenter and repant. The nun is narrow above and wide on the bottom. explains the Chasan Sofwr that when it comes to above, spiritual we should not be satisfied but look at people above us and vice versa below, be satisfied by looking at people below us, bashomayim mmimaal veal haaretz mitochas.

    We add 14 from 2100. THe problem is the equinox changes according to location.

    I am trying to find an easy way of calculating. The equinox is Sept 22 next year. It is always the night of the result. As long as we arrive to the same result, it does not matter how as long as we get the same result.

    To calculate take Sept 23, the fall equinox which is the 266th day of the year, and add 60 ÷ 13 = 73 days, as described above, which makes the 339th day of the year, Dec 5.

    The Midrash compares this unity to a father who took a bunch of reeds in his hand and ask his sons to break them. When they were unable to do it, he told them that as long as they keep together no one can hurt them.

    Shimon Hamosini learned lashem shomaim as he gave up his whole life’s work when one place did not follow his darush. There are 2600 essen in the Torah and he almost covered all of them. Why did he not darshen like Rebbi Akiva, to fear a Talmid Chacham? Maybe the midrash says ויאמינו בה’ ובמשה עבדו – אם במשה האמינו בה’ לא כ’ש, אם כן למה נאמר במשה? They believed in Hashem and his servant Moishe. If they believed in Moishe then they certainly believed in Hashem, so why does it say Moishe? It says so to trust and believe the words of a talmid chacham. The question is that Hashem is the obvious, so why should Moishe not be stated? The Talmid Chacham get his belief from Hashem, so he is unnecessary to be stated. Similarly Shimon Hamosini saw the fear of a Talmid Chacham as obvious. However, for Rebbi Akiva who was originally an am haaretz was not so obvious.

    At Pesach Mitzraim, according to Targum Yehonosan on ואשא אתכם על כנפי נשרים, there was a a neis were the Jews were carried to the מקום המקדש to be makriv a korban pesach, so they were not olah regel and no קרקע was required.

    When one brings a korban pesach, according to kanaan, we are robbers because we stoled the land in EY which is required to bring it. Therefore, Hashem starts the Torah with Bereishis to explain how He gave the land to us, so it cannot start with hachodash hazel before explaining why the land belongs to us.

    The Sifsei Chachamim says that we don’t find this Midrash anywhere so it must have been Rashi’s father who he wanted to honor at the beginning of the Torah.
