Dreaming of a Ladder

Yaakov's dream of a ladder going up to Heaven is a model for all of us with many lessons. We learn to begin at the bottom & to aspire to climb to the top.
The more we do , the more Hashem assists us.

Smashing the Negative

Rambam , laws of Idolatry 1:3 , speaks of how Avraham Avinu taught the whole world about Hashem. The Raavad asks why didn't Shem Ever do the same as Avraham. ?
He explains that they did their best , but they did not have opportunities to smash idols thus they were not as effective.

We learn that there is a way to lock in & insure our growth by smashing the negative , step by step.

All Good

Rashi explains that every year of Sarah's life was all equally good !

How can we understand that ?

Was she as happy before she had a child as afterwards ?

The answer is Gam Zu Ltovah. Yes , she did pray always for a child. But she also understood that until Hashem grants her request , He was giving her what was best for her for now !

Taster's Choice

What if one is only tasting the food to see if it needs salt or other spices is a Bracha required ?

Some say no ,even if he does swallow it.
Others say yes if he swallows it.

Mishna Brura concludes the best approach - if he wants to swallow - to have in mind to also enjoy it as eating food & make a Brocha.
