Mirror Magic

How can the mirrors be the most beloved of all the contributions to the Mishkan ?

Since they were used for the greatest of Mitzvos they became the most holy. When a Mitzva is done with more effort & energy it becomes more precious & elevated !!

Power of Attitude

Now is the time to brush up on this Source
Mishlei 15: 15

A person with a good heart / mind /attitude is always at a banquet.
We can ask - how big of a banquet ?
A recent study claims that a smile can be as stimulating as eating 2,000 chocolate bars !! ?
That sounds big.

Ps. Rav Wolbe writes in one of his seforim that animals do not have the capacity to smile as humans. We need to thank Hashem for the gift He has endowed us with & use it more !
