    GH, the title was רשכבה’ג, Rabon Shel Kol Bnei Hagolah where the Satmar Rav ztz’l had the title but I don’t see it anymore. Rav Mםshe ztz’l had the title רבן של ישראל.

    i thought that is why the statue was erected. The Chacham Tzvi. 93 paskens that a golem cannot be included in a minyan as it has no neshama. A sleeping person, maybe has the place of the neshama, see SA O’CH 55,6 and the Taz argues s’k 4.

    I read The Golem in my youth which was created to fight the Blood Libel with a shem and destroyed by removing it in the attic of the synagogue and it could not speak. There is a statue of the Maharal in Prague.

    There is a story where one slapped the back of someone with a shalom aleichem thinking that he was his long seen friend. He said, sorry I thought that you were an old friend of mine. So the guy said and if am your old friend, you can hit me so hard? He answers him it is not your business how I act towards my friends.

    The Ben Ish Chai says that we say Shabbos Shalom because we are uniting the mitzva of eating for shabbos and one’s desire of food by eating lashem Shomayim.
    We call the sacrifice shelamim making peace between Hashem and us by eating lashem Shomayim, see SA O’CH 231.

    Sinas Chinam comes from jealousy were the hatred has no excuse. Therefore it will kept bottled up in the heart and will not be resolved by discussing the reason for it. The Torah says not to hate your brother in your heart but tell him about it. See the Yad Yosef on the Ein Yaakov Yoma 9.

    דצ’ך עד’ש באח’ב according to the Maasei Hashem the makos are broken down in each division by starting further away from the mitzrym and getting closer to them. Hashem gave them a chance to do teshuva. Kinim, shechin and chashech effected their body whereas dam, arov and borod effected their money. Dam if they paid to the Jews, they could buy water.

    We usually don’t mention a Baal Teshuva’s previous actions. Maybe it is telling us for the future why Moshe Rabbenu will listen to him when Yisro advises him how to judge showing here his wisdom by giving up his worship to a’z as mentioned above. צפרה is the same gematria as למשה. They are both 375.

    This is the Igros Moshe YD 2,57:

    שו”ת אגרות משה יורה דעה חלק ב סימן נז
    בענין להתרפא חולי מחשבות מרופאים סארקאיעטיסטן שהם מינים וכופרים כ”א מנ”א
    תש”כ. מע”כ ידידי הנכבד מו”ה ר’ מיכאל קאסטעל שליט”א.
    בדבר חולי רוח ומחשבות שצריכים לילך לרופאים פסיכאלאגיסטן סארקאיעטיסטן אם רשאים לילך לאלו שהן מינים וכופרים, לע”ד אין לילך אל רופאים כאלו להתרפאות, כי מכיון שאין הרפואות מסמים המרפאים אלא מרוב הדבורים שלהם עם החולה נודעים מאיזה מחשבות הוא סובל, ומיעצים לו איך להתנהג שודאי יש לחוש שמיעצים לפעמים נגד דיני התורה ואף נגד עיקרי הדת ונגד עניני פרישות וצניעות. ול”ד למה שנוהגין להתרפאות ממינים וכופרים שאר מחלות, שכיון שמרפאין במיני סמים אין לו שייכות עם המינים שלהם, והאיסור להתרפאות מן המינים הוא דוקא ברפאות ולחשים שמזכירין שם ע”ז, עיין בתוס’ ע”ז דף כ”ז ובש”ע יו”ד ר”ס קנ”ה, אבל הפסיכאלאגן והסארקאיעטיסטן שכל רפואתן הוא בדבוריהם יש ודאי לחוש שידברו דברי מינות ונבול פה. ואם הם רופאים מומחים ויבטיחו לההורים שלא ידברו דברים שהם נגד דעות האמונה ומצות התורה יש אולי לסמוך שכיון שהם מומחים לא ישקרו. ולכן יש לחפש אחר רופא סארקאיעטיסט שומר תורה ובאם ליכא יתנו עמו ויבטיח שלא ידבר עם החולה
    בעניני אמונה ותורה. ידידו, משה פיינשטיין

    Rashi says on vaera, אל האבות, to the ancestors, being concise. Maybe, the Baal Haturim explains that האבות has the same letters ואהבת, like Avraham Avinu who בכל לבבך loved Hashem with his whoie heart. בכל נםשך, Yitzchak Avinu, who sacrificed himself with his whole soul and ובכל מאדך, what is the most precious to you, your wealth, where Yaakov said that everything Hashem gives him he will give maaser, tithe by showing how they each loved Hashem.

    Vaera is gematria Yitzchak indicating that the time of the geula, redemption will be calculated from him and the difference between Yitzchak and Yischak is 210, the time actually spent in Mitzraim. Moshe Rabbenu was told, remember your name gematria, א-ל שד-י.

    Not to be afraid to question. Get a chavrusa as it says cherev al habadim, sword comes when learning alone. The Haflaah says that a question comes from heavenly intervention, siata Dishmaya. When the Jews found bitter water they through a bitter tree into it to become sweet. When we learn a piece of gemora and don’t understand it, it is bitter. With the help of Hashem we throw on it a kashye which is bitter without a answer but it ends up, when an answer is found, to become sweet.

    The Kotzker explains that vayelech charana, going to Charan by Yaakov Avinu rather than lecharan is teaching us that a person should hold back talking as long as one can. Syag lechachma shtika, the fence of wisdom is silence. Silence protects wisdom from escaping. Silent has the same letters as listen, required to gain more wisdom.

    The Haflaah says that a rebbi to be learned from should be like angel of G-d who stays constant and does not elevate itself. The rebbi in order to show the greatness of his talmidim acts like a malach putting aside his gadlus by allowing them to shine. Similarly the Chasam Sofer, the student, says that the moon was willing to make itself smaller in order that the stars should be able to shine. The Maasei Hashem says that Avraham Avinu was shown the stars to reflect how we should shine in galus by publicizing the existence of Hashem, lefarsem elokuso.

    When an invention came about, problems arrived which generated solutions. To solve a problem always look at the highest level of purpose. The bird which wanted to drink water placed pebbles into it, so the water should reach its mouth but the highest level of purpose was to drink water which if found elsewhere would have sufficed.
