4 lessons to Say

We are taught to review the

Akeida
Parshas Hamann
10 Commandments
& Korbonos

Why are these 4 grouped together ?

Is Parshas Hamann in the same league as the other 3 ?

The Mishna Berura says that we learn that extra hishtadlus does not help at all.
This is a form of mesiras nefesh - that's how it fits in.

This is also Good

Our Sages teach that we should always say - this is good !

But we can ask - why dosent everything work out exactly right ?

The answer is - there is a Good reason. Because than we would not have a strong desire & determination to change & improve.
Negative things prompt us to pray to Hashem for help & to improve which are both very good.

Be grateful for the wake up calls so that we can get to the party.
