    MadeAlyah, you are not in the US and don’t know what is going on. What is the use when the Republicans provide jobs if the prospective applicants don’t have the skills to apply? It is the biggest level of tzadaka to train one in job skills.

    The holy Torah makes sure that everyone can swim by requiring the father to teach his child and not like tne Relublicans who could not care less rather tban providing job trainiing and helping with tbeir other needs. The Republicans are destroying the world as the dor hamabul where robbery, ben adam lechavaro, sealed their fate. When people cannot afford their basic needs, it leads to robbery.

    Maybe the Democrats care for people as the Torah does. rather than tne Republicans sink or swim mentality playbook?

    When it comes to the sacrifice take two birds a live one and a dead one, an aizov, a cedar tree and a red ribbon. The speech is compared to the chirping of the birds. Bad speach can come from gaiva, cedar tree or being in the pits,giving up, an aizov where neither extreme is good. Whichever contributed to it is a sin a red ribbon. So we slaughter one of the birds adding the above to it to kill of the bad speach, dunk the live one into the mixture and let it go on the field being sure tnat now he will protect himself from bad speach. The mixture is placed on his thumb where the five fingers are against the five senses as explained by the Rabbenu Bachaya at the end of Patashas Tzav. The thumb is against the mouth, speach. We place it on the ear lobe to avoid listening to it. We also place it on the big toe not to walk to bad places which encourages bad speach. The right one is in control.

    It says ratzon yeraiov yeaaseh and then es shavosom yishma veyoshiem. The order should be the reverse, first listen and then do? I heard that sometimes we ask for the wrong things but Hashem listens to us, so must daven again to undo it. We should daven yemalei Hashem mishalos libbenu ‘letova’ only if it good for us listen to our hearts desire.

    This makes us understand the brocho Yotzer Hameoros. We are asking Hashem to return the light to the moon at the time when sun’s and its light was equal.

    BTW, The Dubner Magid questions the expressions of the gemora where the moon was complaining for being diminished in size that it said something good. How is it good to have the sun diminish itself? So, he reverses the whole thing. The sun was created bigger than the moon. Hashem saw that the rashoim were not worthy for that light, so He hid it in tbe Torah becoming now equal in light to the moon. The moon wanted the sun should get ifs light back. Hashem diminished tbe moon, so it complained. It got convinced that small is good and tbe stars will help out. The Chasam Sofer says that sometimes tbe rebbi diminishes itself for the benefit of the talmidim. The moon agreed to be smaller so the stars could be seen. The Haflaah says that a talmid should see his rebbi being stationary like an angel not elevating oneself for the benefit of the talmidim.

    The Rabbenu Bachaya in Parashas Pinchas by Rosh Chodash, veod afsher, says something similar that tbe sun was ashamed by the moon, silent and was rewarded as it says veohavov katzes hashemesh bigvurisa. Dom we find in Tenach in Shir Hashirim yidemu kaoven, silent as a stone, pronounced correctly with a dagesh. Interesting in English, silent has the same letters as listen which is done when silent. Silence is also agreement.

    The Sefer Hachinuch explains sefiras haomer to show tbe enthusiasm and exuberance to reach kabolas hatorah by counting the number of tbe days towards it. There is a relationship between Yetzias Mitzraim and Kabolas Hatorah. Hashem took over our servitude from Phataoh by sanctifying us through the Torah and thereby we had no responsibility to Pharaoh to return after three days.

    We get a reward for the preperation of a mitzva. The Chasan Sofer interprets the pasuk את קרבני לחמי לאשי ריח נכוחי תשמרו להקריב לי במועדו we should not get a reward for a sacrifice as tbe bread of the sacrifice really belongs to me, Hasbem, but my enjoyment is the anticipation, waiting to do tbe sacrifice in its time.

    Chosid, some words change their meaning if not pronounced correctly, ידמו changes its meaning without a dagesh in the dalet, meaning similar and with a dagesh, silent. כי לא כלו if cholu is pronounced with the stress in the beginning the meaning is the opposite. Your benevolence has not began whereas at the end, did not finish. So do not dismiss dikduk outright because of the maskilim who only cared about it.

    The brocho gives a proof for the existence of a Devine Being, by recognizing that everything is orderly,
    who created all for the enjoyment of His creations and did not leave anything to randomness.

    The Dubner Magid says that it says a person should bless Hashem for the bad as tbe good. When a situation has a good part in it, the end and a bad part in it, the means then we should bless Hashem for the means as well as the end. Yisro knew that krias yam suf and milchemes amolek was good for the Jews but the shibud, servitude to cleanse us was also good he did not know until told by Moshe Rabbenu, vaysaper Moshe lechosna.

    As a robber, Resh Lakish had to stand up to people. Maybe, similarly, he stood up towards Rebbi Yochanan when he believed he was right. Rebbi Elozor could not contradict Rebbi Yochanan being his rebbi but Resh Lakish saw him as his friend.

    AAQ, thanks for the Maharal. Rebbi Yochanan questioned Rebbi Elozor for bringing proof to his words whereas Resh Lokish would question his words. He said, if I say it, I know I am right, so it will not expand our knowledge whereas a give take by questioning makes us more knowledgeable. The Taz in SA O’CH Siman 47 explains on birchas hatorah to be a business transaction, laasok bedivrei torah. Maybe, the Yerushalmi questions less because it relies more on deeds as the Ramban on Edim Zomimim where we don’t apply it when the witnesses got killed. Hashem would not have allowed the beis din to make a mistake like that and therefore the first witnesses must be correct. The air in EY makes us smarter, therefore our actions are more important to rely on.

    We see from the above that something that looks bad how Hashem can turn it to good. Similarly, Pesach, Matzah and Maror. Maror seems to be out of place as it happened first. However, Maror, the kushei hashubud, hardship in servitude, is part of redemption by accelerating (210) the gaula before the time (400).

    The Berditchever zy’a explains that the argument by the ruler of the sea that the Jews also worshipped a’z was beneficial to them. It says rama bayam, elevate in the sea and yara bayam, thrown in the sea. The question is why the mitzryim went into the sea after seeing that a miracle happened? This argument gave them a feeling of victory and elevation thereby thinking that they will succeed which led to their downfall and being thrown into the sea.

    My mother was also in Aushwitz, 32 years old, was sent by Mengele to the right side whereas her sister (my fathers first wife) and two daughters were sent to the left. My mother, not knowing, got out twice of the line and went after them to the left. Twice a german soldier pushed her back to the right. She was put to work for I.G. Farben to fill granades. The sister and children were killed. She was freed by the Russians.

    common saychel, Sometimes doing something and not asking a shaila is greater than asking one if the intentions are honorable. An am haaretz might think to drink milk to commemorate the fact that Hashem sanctified us by giving us the Torah compared to mik and thereby not returning after three days by taking over our servitude from Pharaoh.

    My Yetzias Mitzraim is leaving Sopron, Hungary at the 1956 revolution 64 years ago being 9 years old. All religious Jews escaped. so there was no way to go yeshivas and practice orthodox jewish religion. After 2 1/2 years we arrived to New York and was able to attend Yeshivas being educated in the Torah and the Talmud. I thank daily Hashem Yisborach for this opportunity.
