Parshas Ki Sisa (5769)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
Chet HaAigel—Klal Yisroel understood the importance of and therefore yearned for a leader. Hashem sends according to our realization; beg for leadership.
On Shabbos all our avoda of the week rises to the Shomayim. The connection of the mitzvah of Mishloach Manos to the miracles of Purim was that the tefilos and fasting of Klal Yisroel; which was responsible for the miracle, was the reflection of the ahava for one another.
Have a wonderful Shabbos.
