    It is better to leave the sefer torah open when making the first bracha on it and looking aside when saying it in order to avoid opening and finding the place again because of tircha detzibera which is multiplicative, by waisting people’s time, aveira. If a wrong sefer torah was taken out by error than pegima of the torah takes precedence kal vechomer how to watch not to be pogem in a Jew who has a holy heavenly soul.

    It says ומרדכי לא יכרע ולא ישתחוה, and Mordechai did not bow or prostrate himself. Why was it right for everyone else but not for him and not only Mordechai does not bow down but shows Haman ym’s the contract that Haman sold himself as a slave to him when in in the desert provided him food. The Chasam Sofer explains that Haman was wearing an idol on his neck, so others were able to bow down to him showing respect for his stature but Mordechai could not because being his slave, people will think that he is not bowing for resoect but to the idol. The contract was shown as a reason for not bowing down.

    The Ksav Sofer questions whether on Purim Katan we should make a sudah? He says if טוב לב משתה תמיד if someone is good hearted and willing to give also mishloach manos, he can make a sudah too.

    There is an argument for the reason of mishelach manos. Is it related to the sudah to share our sudah with others or to send presents to everyone in order not to ashame the poor? The first side might be the reason as currently in Jerusalem, matonas leavyoni, caring for the poor, goes with the reading of the megilla on Friday and the mishelach manos, to show unity toward each other, is on the day of the sudah on Sunday.

    President Biden realizes that to get something accomplished, we need partners as it cannot be done alone as mitzvos cannot be done alone. Someone must make the tefilin and write the sefer torah. Rebbi Akiva said that loving your fellow man/woman is the utmost theme of the Torah.To arrive to the truth in the torah learning by give and take through questions and answers, laasok bedivrei torah like a business transaction, we need social interaction. We need the help of our allies to fight Iran.

    The Hafloah says that we want to convince someone to do mitzvos, let us do it by emphasizing the positive ובחרת בחיים, choose life, the reward for doing mitzvos and not the punishment. When raising children, emphasize the positive, what they are doing good and how good they are because of it. Praise them when they do good and do not figure that no praise is required because their behavior is normal.

    The writing of the oral law was a necessity in order the Torah should not be forgotten. The Rabbenu Bachaya explains at the end of Parashas Ki Siso that Rebbi only wrote down in the mishna what he felt was necessary for their understanding and as the generations came, more elaboration was required. Rav Nossan Adler only put dots on the margin because he had a photographic memory and complete writing was not necessary.

    אינו דומה מי ששונה מאה פעמים it is not the same one learning 100 times or 101 times.
    אשרי מי שבא ‘לכאן’ ותלמודו בידו lekan is 101. The Sefer Peninim Yekorim mentions that ‘אם אין ‘אני לי adds up to 101.
    The daughter of the Chasam Sofer (Hindel married to Rebbi David Tzvi Ehrenfeld, the father of the Chasan Sofer) explained that the Tziporas Hakromim, a bird in the vinyard, says in the Perek Shirah
    מאין’ יבא עזרי’ meayin is 101. The gemora says that this bird’s oil by rubbing it on forehead helps for memory but learning 101 times is better because you won’t have to kill it.

    There is an argument between the litvacks and chasidim. The litvish interpret עת לעשות לה’ הפרו תורתך when the Torah is weakened, it is a time to accomodate in order to protect it that more should no be let go. Whereas the chasidim interpret the reverse ‘הפרו תרתך עת לעשות לה be strong and steadfast and don’t budge as the cedar above when the Torah is being weakened and don’t let go an inch.

    We find that Bnei Yisroel is called rishon and Amolek is called rishon. The Dubner Magid compares this to a doctor and a gibor. Hashem is both a doctor and a gibor. If a gibor wants to denonstrate his strength, he defeats someone being considered strong and a doctor cures someone weak and sickly. Hashem, the gibor, will defeat Amolek and heal and elevate the Bnei Yisroel who are weak and low in galus.

    Even when the Jews were sinning at the sudah, Hashem thinks of them and kills their enemies. This was a result of Vashti being so beutiful and the king wanting to show her of. The Ksav Sofer explains that in order to have a competitive beauty contest they all had to dress the same. Vasbti could not wear cloth of a comoner, neither the others her royal cloth, so there was no other optiion than wearing no clothes. She had to appear with only a crown as a punishment for having Jewish girls work for her unclothed on shabbos.

    The Torah says to respect the aged over 70 because of their knowledge through experience. It is improper to call them by their first name done in America as I expect that everyone over 70 should be called. Reb is a designation of respect as they should be called up to the Torah. In Hungary they were greeted by I kiss your hand. A kluger yid is a praise for yourself where it says in Mishlei, yehalelucha zar, vela picha which should be done by others.
