Creation

The Talmud says read the first word of the Torah as Boroh Shis
- Hashem created a cavity under the Mizbeach.
What does this mean ?

Rambam explains that the Mizbeach was the site of
5 great historical events -
The Akeida
The offerings Noach brought
Where Kayin & Hevel brought
Where Adam brought &
That is from where his body was formed !

The connection - from the place where we can achieve atonement that is from where Hashem created people !

Special - the Day After

The day after Chag is called Isru Chag. We celebrate with some extra food & drink & reflect on the gift of the Chag which has departed.
We need to take the lessons of the Holidays with us to cherish always.

A separation from Hashem. Healing is the art of reconnecting to Hashem.
