Fumble
Eliezer was eager to perform his task faithfully.
However, in the process, he violated a primary tenet of Avraham and Yitzchok Avinu’s reality.
Which tenet did he violate?
One word can answer the question…
Shabbos Shalom
Before Attempting The Akeida
Avraham Avinu mada a brocho on his mitzva!
To prevent a brocho levatala, Hashem provides a substitute ram.
Chiddush of the Imrei Emes.
What’s wrong with this picture?

Eliyahu Malach HaBris
If we don’t designate a seat for Eliyahu, he doesn’t come to the bris.
Why is this seat necessary?
Shabbos Shalom
Aleph Beis
The Chumash begins with a Beis.
Rashi with an Aleph.
Mesechtos of Bavli begins with Daf Beis.
Yerushalmi and Zohar Daf Aleph.
What’s the connection?
Shabbos Bereishis Shalom!
Ask Your Family
Now we migrate back into our homes.
What will we bring with us?
Chag Sameach!
Way To Go
Rabbi Nachman’s yahrtzeit is a day before that of the Vilna Gaon.
The parallel relationship of these two giants has been noted by talmidei chachomim.
Rabbi Nachman died in a state of utmost serenity.
Refused to intervene on his own behalf.
The Gaon cried on his deathbed, clutching his tztitzis.
He bemoaned his imminent inability to continue serving Hashem.
What’s the machlokes here?
Shabbos Shalom
Decorate Your Sukka
Once the Divrei Chaim showed his young son “Real Sukka Decoration”.
Distribution of tzedaka before the holiday!
How does this decorate one’s sukka?
Chag Sameach
Stump Your Rabbi
We blow the shofar after ne’ila on Yom Kippur.
Even if it’s Shabbos, before nightfall.
When Rosh Hashana is on Shabbos, we don’t shofar at all.
Why shofar the Shabbos for a minhag but not for a mitzva d’Oraysa?
Shabbos Shalom

Left Right Left
Two lines from Tikunei Zohar:
Rosh Hashana is the sister chag of Pesach.
Pesach is Vav Heh, while Rosh Hashana is Yud Heh.
Contradiction?
Shabbos Shalom
