Still Purim?
Yam Suf splits, providing escape.
Chesed, at night.
Crashes down on Mitzrim, punishment.
Din, by day.
Later, food from the sky, and water from the ground.
Why these reversals of the norm?
Good Yom Tov
Mitzvos Abound!
Arba Kosos
Sippur Yetzias Mitzrayim
Heseiba (Brisker Rav)
Korech
Afikomin
Hallel
Why no brocho on any of these?
Chag Kasher v’Sameach!
This Shabbos Greet The Yidden
“Shabbos Hagadol Shalom”
Other Shabbosos have specialty names too.
Shabbos Shira.
Shabbos Shuva.
Shabbos Bereishis.
No Minhag there to greet with specialty.
Why not?
Shabbos Hagadol Shalom!
Gut Yom Tov!
Today is Rosh Hashana l’Melachim.
Today is the ideal day to recite Birchas Ilanos.
How are kings associated with trees?
The Mishkan Continues Matan Torah
At Har Sinai, Moshe Rabenu waltzes right into the cloud.
The Mishkan’s cloud prevents entry.
Mah Nishtana?
Shabbos Shalom
Moshe Rabenu Headlights
Caused by the “writing” of the luchos (Baal HaTurim).
Hashem sculpted the luchos without ink.
Moshe wrote Torah with ink.
Which action caused the headlights?
How so?

Posture Problem
All mitzvos must be performed “the way they grow”.
Lulav upright. Esrog and Mishkan beams too.
Yet, it’s wrong to walk like a Marine.
Even when walking is a mitzva.
People don’t grow straight up?
Shabbos Shalom
Yisro Missed Har Sinai
Went home to convert people instead.
Why not wait till after the big event?
Shabbos Shalom
