How did we?

How did we become Jews when we left Egypt ?

With Bris Milah
Tevila &
Offerings.
So too , in every generation , if one chooses to join , they need these 3 steps. But now until we have the Holy Temple they owe their korban offering. Rambam , Sefer kudusha. I. B. Ch. 13.

The Salt Message

Why does every offering require salt ?
Why should we have salt on the table by our meals ?

Tosfos , Brochos 40a , cites a Medrash that the Satan may criticize Jews waiting for each other to wash without doing Mitzvos.
Thus Salt will protect us.
How do we understand this ?

Salt consists of 2 ingredients that are poison when separate , but together they are beneficial. That is the message of salt. Work together & do good deeds.

Good Fortune.

Fortunate is one who arrives with his learning in his hands.
This Talmudic saying is reviewed 4 times in the Talmud -
Pesochim 50a.
Moed Katan 28a
Kesubos 77 b.
Bava Basra 10b.
What does it mean in his hands ?
He knows it by heart or he has fulfilled the lessons with his hands.

Some great posts on our forum from the warriors of GYE

Posted by "Bochur28":
 
One idea that helps me guard my eyes is what the Ibn Ezra says on the mitzvah of "Lo sachmod - do not covet". He asks, how can the Torah command us to not covet? It's not really in our control and it's so easy to stumble in, so how can it be a mitzvah? The answer is - says the Ibn Ezra - that just as a pauper knows that it's not shayach for him to marry a princess and hence he does not desire her, so too, each one of us must not desire things that the Ribono shel Olam has not given us, since it's not shayach to us. And we should know that if we in fact had them, it would not be good for us anyway.

Posted by "Ano-nymous":

Whenever a bad thought comes to me, I think of an image of a beautiful waterfall, and the bad images leave immediately. I'm working on not staring in the streets. A couple times I had to literally tear my head away. This is so hard sometimes that it hurts me to do it. But the Yetzer Hara tricks you by getting you to look into the future. He says "look how much you enjoy this! How are you going to go without this for such a long time?". He used this to keep me from seriously trying to stop for years, but now I just look at today. I also look backwards and see how far I've come. But I try not to look ahead. Trying to imagine how hard it will be in the future is like looking down from atop a tightrope. You will fall and severely hurt yourself. So, DON'T LOOK DOWN! Just look at today.

Getting Ready

It is better to increase giving gifts to the poor than to spend more on ones own meal & on gifts to friends. There is no greater & more glorious JOY than to cause joy to the poor ,orphans , widows & converts. One who brings joy to them is compared to Hashem. !!

The water in the Midbar was in Miriams merit.

The Clouds of glory in Aarons honor. Why this division ?

Some explain because Moshe & Miriam taught the basics of Torah thus they had Bread & water , the basics of life.
Aaron taught to always love & pursue Peace , thus they gained the clouds which provided a unique ambiance of closeness to Hashem !

First 3

The first 3 Makos , Blood , Frogs & Lice , were all brought about by Aaron not Moshe.
One of the lessons is because Moshe had a greater obligation of gratitude to the water & the earth.

This serves to remind us to thank Hashem for the water which pours out of the faucets when we use them. And to be thankful that you are standing on solid ground as you are reading this dvar Torah.

The Water Metaphor

The Talmud compares the Torah to Water.

It is a universal solvent , which can flow all over , nourish everything & pierce through , even stone. And like water , it can become stagnant & even poisonous if it is not allowed to flow freely.

Not Alone

The Torah teaches that Yaakov was left alone & thus got into a difficult struggle.
One of the lessons from this is

It is not good for a person to be alone.
This is one of the fundamental purposes of the Mitzva to get married , to acquire friends & to accept upon oneself a mentor for guidance.
Koheles sums up -

Two are better than one.

Most Unique Tent

The most special place in all of history was the tent of Avraham & Sarah.
3 of the features were
The lights that stayed lit miraculously from one erev Shabos to the next ,
The dough that was always blessed ,

These correspond to the 3 great Mitzvos of women :
- Lighting up the world ,
- Chesed to all ,

The Power of Small Talk

In Brochos 3a , where the Gemara teaches the time for Shma in the morning , it says that there are 3 signs for the right time -

- An infant gets up to nurse from its mother ,
- A wife will spend some time conversing with her husband &
- its time to say the Shma.

What is the common denominator of these 3 issues ?

All 3 are essential connections in life.

- A child must have nourishment , food , nutrition & bonding with its mother.

- A marriage must be maintained with small talk. Conversation that bonds , nurtures & develops caring , sharing & private time together.

- time to say the Shma daily - to say we Love Hashem & connect to Him on a daily basis.
