    אל מול פני המנורה יאירו שבעת הנרות explains the Chasan Sofer that the center is the Rebbi that the talmidim look to, seeing him as heavenly angel. so he stays humble by recognizing that his strength comes from the takmidim and the talmidim rely on the rebbi.

    Let’s wear a hat. The Magen Avraham says that one can hide the tzitzis in the kanfus when walking among goyim. Leider it is a pikuach nefesh.

    You know the story of the Shlumiel and Shlomazel. One pours soup on another. The one who pours is the Shlumiel and the one who gets poured on is the Shlomazel.

    Where do we find that you are not allowed to prepare things on a weekday for another weekday? Everyone knows that you are preparing for the day that you can write.

    There is a difference in the pronounciatuon of an aleph and an ayin. The aleph is short whereas the ayin is long. So the nun was added in the extension of the pronounciation. Also yaan kel, the answering of Hashem is included.

    The Chasam Sofer explains that it says that the Jews were not worthy to the Aigal worship only to teach teshuva for future generations. They made themselves tuma, even though they were tahor, that future genrations who are tuma wil make themselves tahor. Letamei tehorim in order to be metaher temeim.

    Maybe there is a public remembrance of the Aigal by having to postpone the Korban Pesach because of tuma and cleansing with the parah aduma, red heifer which is a kapara, forgiveness for it. The zechirah of it is hidden as above. The Klei Yakar explains the contradictory nature of the Parah Aduma. The Parah Aduma consists of two entities, one tuma and one tahor. It had tbe ashes which is tuma and the well water which is tahor. Now, oppsites react, so when placing on a tuma person, the water would react and make him tahor whereas when placed on a tahor person, the ashes will react and make him tuma.

    We do remember them privately. The Magen Avraham above in the beginning SA O’CH (60,2), says that we should remember the six zechiros by krias shema. When we say uvono vocharto, You have chosen us, kabolas hatorah, vekeravtinu leshimcha hagodal. where Hashem’s name will be complete, amolek. We should keep in mind by Lehodos lecha, praise only You through our speech, the using of our speech properly. Miryam. Remember, uleyachedcha beahava. the need to recognize Your uniqeness with love, not like the Jews in the midbar who angered Hashem. Remember at uzchartem es kol mitzvos, shabbos which comprises all mitzvos and asher hotzesi eschem me’eretz mitzraim, yetsias mitzraim. When saying krias shma, we should drop the talis from our shoulders.

    Now, let us try to explain it. When a person is blessed with wealth, harm can come to him either physically or spiritually. The wealth can be stolen from him. It can also bring to spiritual degradation by forgetting who bestowed the wealth him. vayishman yeshurun vayivot, a cow when it becomes fat throws over the milk. The wealth can also cause a kitrug above, arguing that he is not worthy of it.
    The Chasam Sofer explains the meaning of being mechadash betorah. There are hidden secrets in the Torah that one is helped to reveal. This can contribute to gaiva, so he needs a blessing to realize that the more a person learns the more there is to be learned like an astronaut realizes that there is more to conquer and thereby bring to humility and the mutual liking of each other.
    Finally, we must pray for the continuation of these blessings which should not cause discord but peace.

    Thank you por for the Targum Yonasan. I think he says, Hashem will bless you in all your endeavors, protect you from all who can cause harm to you. He will enlighten you in the Torah to come to realize the hidden, you will be liked by people. Hashem will listen to your tefilos and grant you peace in all you do.

    Get the book 501 Hebrew Verbs which teaches the roots with examples and use the existing translated hebrew seforim to learn hebrew so you can learn the original and to learn aramaic. do shenayum mikra vechad targum, repeat the parasha two times and once the targum.

    The Torah is compared to water which is available for free and flows from high to low to those who are humble. Emes mearetz titzmach, the truth grows from the ground, for those who lower themselves to the ground. So why don’t people find it? Said the Baal Shem Tov because keiner will sich nisht einbeigen, no one wants to bend down.

    The Binah Leitim relates all parshiyos in Nasso to avoid gaiva that can result from different reasons such that birchas kohanim covers all. See https://hebrewbooks.org/41387

    There is a story in tractate Shabbos about a man who did not have anyone to nurse a baby and a miracle happened to be able to nurse. There are two views there. One says how great he is but the other says how demeaning it is that the normal nature was changed as menakin lo mizochiyosov, his good deed will be diminished, so if there are no good deeds to be worthy, it will not happen.

    What you are saying is a kefira. As long as there is no Beis Hamikdash and the coming of Meshiach we are in galus and we say nachem on Tisha Beav. The Jews have to pray to Hashem more fervently in Israel as they are in the palace of the King requiring special behavior which is hard to do.

    The Yidden pick words up from nationalties where they reside and is incorporated in their Yiddish there, so Hungarian Yiddish, a German dialect, is not the same as Polish Yiddish as chalopches, geschtopte kraute or pechah, kocsonya in Hungarian.

    My pshat is on sheminis shebeshminis is the mishna in the sixth perek of Avos in 8th mishna there are eight words, hanoh, vekoach, vekakovad etc. according to the Binah Leitim are the main cause of gaiva, so we have to conrol these qualities as Rebbi and his children.

    Explains the Olalos Ephraim (Klei Yakar) that Moshe Rabbenu was humble to go to Mitzraim, saying mi anochi, so Hashem said to him, that is why I chose you in the first place as will give the Torah on Har Sinai because of its humility.

    The Rabbenu Bachaya points out when we take each of the first letters of tbe names of the shevotim and multiply them individualy by 1000 as Ruevain, 200,000, Shimon, 300,000 and so on. We leave out Levi and use Yosef, so when we add them all together, the sum is 597,000, 3000 who died by the aigal, missing from 600,000.

    Rosh Chodash was given to the women as a reward because when it came to Aigel they were forced to contribute whereas by the Mishkan they were first to contribute. The Aigal emphasizes outside influence whereas Rosh Chodash, reflects the hashgacha and renewal by Hashem as well as the mishkan, Hashem’s closeness to us.
