From this article about Rabbi Levin Zatza"l ; Rav Levin’s ;rebbi, Rav Doniel, once asked, “Is man jealous of the wings of an eagle?” As the question sunk in, he responded, “No. Man is not jealous of wings. In fact, if a person would grow wings, he would be a ;baal mum; there would be something a...

What is the connection between running away from zenus and klal yisroel meriting to go through, why should one have a bearing on the other? ;I think a possible explanation is that klal yisroel were in danger at that time, as chazal...

A lesson we can take from Sisera (that you probably never heard it Yeshiva). ; If you analyze it, it would appear that Sisera was a sex addict. Thus, when the women were comforting the mother of Sisera as to why her son was late, they told her don't worry, "רַחַם רַחֲמָתַיִם לְרֹאשׁ גֶּבֶר". ;Ra...

Hashem inspired me to respond as follows: That's a good question. Chazal actually ask, "Where can we find Haman in the Torah?" And they answer, from the pasuk where Hashem asks Adam Harishon if he ate from the tree that he was commanded not to: ; הֲמִן-הָעֵץ, ;אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִיךָ לְבִלְתִּי אֲכָל-...

I remember hearing a powerful story about ;Reb Moshe Leib M'Sosov who's yartzeit was this past week I think. ;It was on a Parshas Bo that Reb Moishe Leib was in Lizensk for shabbos as a guest of R' Elimelech. During the seuda he got up to say a vort on the parsha. ;The offering is called korbon...

ליל שימורים הוא להשם ;Amalek is determined to destroy klal yisrael. One of his primary weapons is to contaminate their personal holiness, the os bris kodesh. אשר קרך בדרך, from the same root as קרי, as Rashi says on that pasuk. ;Hashem says אין השם שלם ואין הכסא שלם, His Name and Throne are incom...
