Parshas Tetzaveh-Zachor (5770)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

The Torah selects only certain holy objects to explain their purpose (28:35). The golden paamon and rimon on the bottom of the Kohain Gadol’s garment was to hear; the movement of the Kohain Gadol was heard. Perhaps it was not to suddenly come without warning and scare the people around him; bain adam l’chavero.

Rashi says the lesson of false weights connected to Parshas Zachor is that the punishment for being negligent in monetary affairs brings the attack of goyim. Again – bain adam l’chavero.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and Purim sameach.

The kruvim on the aron hakodesh were the holiest object in the world and in the holiest place. Their faces were youthful; the obvious lesson was the extreme importance of always remaining young. One should be always ready to have the flexibility of recognizing the possible mistake in his ideas and to welcome change to new ideas.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and days of increasing simcha.

Stealing a human is considered such a grave sin since it deprives the individual of his precious opportunity for making use of his life. What a lesson.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a simchadike Chodesh.

Parshas Beshalach (5770)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

An awesome lesson may be learned from the simplicity of the opening pasuk of our parsha.  Hashem had Klal Yisroel take the long way out of Mitzrayim so that in case they would be faced with dangers they would not be easily discouraged and possibly regret having left Mitzrayim.  This obviously was something that was a test which they had to stand up to.  The Divine wisdom placed them in the right position needed for the test to be “fair” for them; without having an over temptation to return.  We must always remember that this principle holds true for the tests that are presented to us.  Often we place ourselves in positions which make the test more difficult.

Have a meaningful Tu B’Shvat and a wonderful Shabbos.

The point of yetzias Mitzrayim, that is the miracles of the 10 makos, is to internalize them to serve as the underlying motivation for our total commitment for serving Hashem.  Stemming from our gratitude to Him and recognizing His complete sovereignty over the universe and all its powers.  Make use of these sedros to be inspired.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Parshas Voaira (5770)

This week I will share something very deep with you.  6:28 the pasuk is relating something which in the simplicity of the text is not apparent.  Hashem communicated to Moshe Rabeinu something which in light of their oneness cannot be revealed.  The Mesilas Yesharim in the last chapter of the sefer revealed that a level can be reached that the tzaddik becomes one with Hashem.  The pasuk reveals this that we should know this and strive for it.

We should be worthy to see the redemption of Klal Yisroel bikarov.  Have a wonderful Shabbos and a redeeming month.

Parshas Shmos (5770)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

The most awesome, shocking issue of our sedra is that despite the life-saving contribution Klal Yisroel gave the Egyptians they imposed upon us a historically radical manifestation of extreme wicked slavery.

When we mistakenly admire the mentality and the way of life of the goyim the Divine plan causes them to deal with us in an irrational manner. How relevant this lesson is for all generations and especially for today.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Parshas Vayechi (5770)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Yaakov Avinu gives a unique bracha to his progeny, the heads of the shevatim, according to their unique qualities and character traits.  Every moment of our lives and existence has eternal significance.  Our greatest prayer for ourselves and blessing to others is that we should harness and make use of the G-d given unique qualities given to us to achieve the ultimate purpose for which we were placed on this earth.

Have a wonderful, fulfilling Shabbos.

Parshas Mikaitz – zos Chanukah (5770)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

The key to everything is to connect with Hashem, our Creator, and to commit ourselves to His Will.  This was the essence of the success and the significance of the Hashmonaim, this is the essence of the significance of Rosh Chodesh and the true secret of success of Yosef HaTzaddik.  Let us all cry to Hashem for the true fulfillment of this and to bring the ultimate of success for ourselves and blessings for ourselves and the Redemption for all Klal Yisroel.

A freilichen and fulfilling Chanukah, a Chodesh of bracha and a wonderful Shabbos

Parshas Vayishlach (5770)

Vayishlach Yaakov—Yaakov sent actual angels, powerful, spiritual emisarries to deal with Esav.  This is the name and the theme of the parsha.  It is imperative for us to realize that even to this very day we have accessibility to this power through the auspices of fulfilling the Will of Hashem.  So pertinent.  So pertinent

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
