Obviously day above should be they.
In EY where they day say that a great miracle was here it also adds up to Meshiach through the name Tzemach.
The shien with 3 legs reminds us of the avos.
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.
To remember Meshiach as the letters on the dreidel add up to.
It is the time before coming of Meshiach, akavta demashicha.
Meshiach comes at dawn when the darkness will turn to light as in Chanukah.
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.

Avira, do people have their own moral standards, or does the government create the morals.
Maybe it teaches us to see and learn from the tzadikim, the complete.
On the other side, look at the sefer AIm Habanim Semecha
The holy Ohr Hachaim explains that it easy to leave after one is promised a reputation, children and wealth. However Avram left ‘כאשר דבר אליו ה as Hashem said to him, harsh words which are not so easy to follow and not כאשר אמר.
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.
When Meshiach will come in its fixed time a harsh king will come about to force the Jews to teshuva. Hamas is that מלך קשה כהמן.
There is no obligation to eat in the sukkah other than the first day, but there is an obligation to always learn Torah. so one is not masiach daas from it until one goes to sleep.
The above about the Satan is in Yoma (20,1).
השטן adds up to 364 as the day of Yom Kippur, the yetzer hara has no effect over us.
In the Hagaddah we seem to minish Pharoh’s deeds over Lavan. The fact that Lavan wanted to uproot everything happens to be good us as Hashem swore that the Jews will always exist, so his wishes will never become a reality. The holy Alshich explains that Lavan destroyed the intention of Yaakov to marry Rachel first. If this would have occured, Yosef would have been the first born and no jealousy would have happened among the brothers and they never would have descended to Mitzraim.
The minhag of not saying tachnun at Mincha came about because the chasidim daven late.
According to the Kli Yakar at the end of parashas Vayigash, this teaches us an important lesson. The servitude came because the Jews forgot that they were strangers in a strange land. ויאחזו בה they grabbed on to the land becoming strong and the Mitzriim became jealous of them and had them work to weaken them.
It says ‘ותלך לדרוש את ה Rivka Imenu did not go to the doctor but to the Beis Hamedrash of Shem.
The above does not mean that no hishtadlus is necessary but after doing it, we should rely on the RBSO (Hashem).
