Parshas Vayikra-Parshas HaChodesh 5772
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Vayikra 4:22 — It is difficult to understand Rashi’s explanation “asher Nasi yecheta” –lucky is the nation whose leader sins? Yes, lucky is the nation whose leader is honest and open and publicly admits his mistakes.

Parshas HaChodesh, its essence and significance is that starting from Rosh Chodesh we must start our spiritual preparations for Pesach; make a seder in the Hagdaddah and learning Chazal on yetzias mitzrayim.

Klaal Yisroel suffered a great loss this week with the passing of Morein Rebeinu HaGaon R’ Chayim Pinchas Scheinberg zt”l the Rosh Yeshiva of all. He truly manifested “chacham lev yikach mitzvos”.

Have a good Shabbos and a good Chodesh.
