    The holy Berdichaver explains in Kadushas Levi how the mitzryim went into the sea when they saw the supper natural of its splitting. When the ruler of mitzryim heard the argument from the ruler of the sea that the Jews also worshipped a’z, was passed on to the mitzryim, and they felt a sense of victory believing that the Jews are not better than they are, which encouraged them to go into the sea.

    I heard from my father a’h that we sing the davenen to camouflage it such that the malachim should not understand it and be mekatreg.

    In order not to forget that parnasa comes from Hashem, the Ksav Sofer interprets the pasuk וה’ הולך לפניהם יומם when Hashem provides a person daytime, hatzlacha, success, he should not think that only his effort contributed to this but think of בעמוד ענן the pillar of the dark cloud, it can turn bad לנחותם הדרך to lead him through life, ולילה at night when things are bad, keep in mind בעמוד אש להאיר להם the pillar of fire to light up the way by changing life to success, ללכת יומם ולילה this will help him to live when going good or bad. The Chasan Sofer, the student says on the Haggadah, בשעה שיש מצה ומרור מונחים לפנך teaching us for the year to keep the good and bad always in front of us. When going good, think of the bad and vice versa when going bad, think of the good.

    The Midrash in Bereishis says that the Torah was the blueprint of the world creation. So, therefore it is the user manual of how to live.

    I heard a funny but true interpretation of the above, Hashem says to Moshe, what are you a chazan then the Jews come to Me to the shul but if you are telling them drashas or mussar then they move away.

    It happened to me both in shidduch and job search where they came about in an unexpected way. Hashem is the matchmaker.

    it says קשה פרנסתו של אדם כקריעת ים סוף for Hashem, providing a livelihood is as hard as the splitting of the sea, a hidden miracle and it comes in an unexpected way. When we put the hishtadlus, effort into it, it does not necessarily come from that effort. The Chidushei Harim explains that no one expected the splitting of the sea.

    As we see by the Parasha of the Mon that every individual got an equal portion, so how does one receive more than kedei chayov, necessary for one’s survival? The Dubner Maggid explains that Hashem commanded to give maaser and therefore one gets ten times as much.

    I have sleep apnea, so using a mask connected to a machine which feeds air helps me sleep undisturbed. Without it, the body periodically, unconsciously wakes up and does not get the proper sleep thereby making it up at daytime by falling asleep.

    Its like the Igros Moshe on raising a child half perspiration, effort and half inspiration, prayer to bear fruits. After the effort it is still a miracle that one has the strength and abilities to accomplish the work necessary for his parnasa.

    We sacrifice the Karbon Pesach to show that Hashem controls the world and we are above the mazel of the lamb. According to the Sefer Hachinuch, Milah, circumcision reflects this. A person has a free choice and can change.

    Tosfas says in Bava Metzia that Ravina ate from a mashkante denechuyasei, deducting from the collateral the use, as he did not see himself a talmid chacham. The question is, when it comes to stringencies about ribus doesn’t he have to be machmir? Maybe, he didn’t consider himself a talmid chacham in other things also.

    The tribe of Ephraim miscalculated 400 years from bris ben habsorim but it really was 430, thirty years before their promised redemption, where the 400 years was from the birth of Yitzchak. This caused them to get killed. The Targun Yonason in the beginning of Parashas Beshalach explains that Hashem took the Jews in a round about away in order they should not see the 200,000 dead corpses that Yesezkel Hanavi saw being ressurected in the atzamas yeveshos prophesy.

    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.

    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
