Succos (5765)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

The focus of the Succah should be the most amazing phenomenon that we have a mitzvah that we can actually point up to the schach and proclaim that there is the Shechina.

Have a most wonderful, simchadike Yom Tov with all the brachos that come with it.

Rosh Hashana (5765)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

The main, crucial focal point of Rosh Hashana is the strengthening and rejuvenating of Hashem as the King of the Universe. Our practical actuating this as a reality has been hampered since no actual kingdom exists in the world today that we canuse to relate to Hashem in that role.

Perhaps the knowledge that the control of all the vicious forces and nuclear power in the world today are all completely in the hands of Hashem, is a unique advanced concept of the Malchus Shamayim.

May it be a wonderful good year for you and all Clal Yisroel.

Parshas Nitzavim – Vayelech (5764)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

In our preparation for Rosh Hashanah we must work on feeling the malchus, the Kingdom of Hashem. Therefore the parsha is so outstandingly appropriate—Atem Nitzavim, you are all standing before Hashem.

It is imperative to devote time each day to generate this feeling within ourselves of having a true perception of the reality of the Kingdom and presence of Hashem. This will lead us to have a successful Rosh Hashana and a happy, prosperous year.

A wonderful Shabbos to all.

Parshas Ki Savo (5764)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

As we get closer to Rosh HaShana the Hashgacha brings us sedras with vital spiritual nourishment. Our parsha cries out the importance of “hakoras hatov”—gratitude which is the basis of our relationship with Hashem and with our fellow man and the foundation of our whole religion. How important it is for us to understand this and fulfill it in a realistic, meaningful way and not just with superficial metaphors.

We should all be zocheh to acquire this wonderful attribute and have all the brachos that will come with it.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
