Succos is called Zman Simchaseinu, this is a peleh since each Mitzvah has its essence with its simcha. By Succos it seems that simcha is its essence. Simcha is a “Wavelength” that connects us with Hashem, which is the essence of Succos. The mitzvos are just the tools.
Have a Shabbos of simcha, of significance and joyous celebrations.
To All Our Friends and Relatives,
I would like to invite you all to the Simchas Bais HaShoaivah at our Succah, Panim Meirot 3, knisa 3, this coming Motzai Shabbos Chol HaMoed, אור לי”ח תשרי (Oct.11) at 8:30 P.M.. Looking forward to being mesameach with you all.
Have a Happy Yom Tov.

Parshas Nitzavim-Vayelech (5774)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
30:3 Rashi explains that Hashem is with us in golus; what does this mean for us? If Hashem is there this means that we see him clearly through hashgacha pratis. According to the יש אומרים that Rashi brings that He takes you out of golus by holding you by the hand—this means that the revelation of hashgacha pratis is MOIRADIK. How He reveals himself is MOIRADIK!!
The Rebbe, Rav Miller always said all’s well that ends well—make this last Shabbos your best.
Have a wonderful best Shabbos.

18:9—Rashi tells us to be up to date with the latest of manifestations of the yetzer harah, not to make the mistake of so many, and to inspire your children to the real emes.
Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Parshas Re’ay (5774)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
13:2-6: The false navi brings real signs that he is for real (he is given that koach). How can we stand up to this? Hashem is testing for your love; if the love is as it should be, especially having experienced such love and kindness of yetzias mitzrayim the connection of the attachment won’t allow interference from anything.
Have a wonderful Shabbos, and a Chodesh of yeshuos and simcha for all of Klal Yisroel.

Parshas Aikev (5774)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
9:4/5/6—“Don’t think that it was because of your tzidkus that you inherited the land.” The simplicity is that you are lacking in the quantity or quality of the mitzvos but the pasuk attributes it to: כי עם קשה עורף אתה. In the words of the pasuk it is not the lack of tzidkus but stubbornness; the lack of flexibility to see, to understand, to be sensitive. Miles and miles to write about but just a hint for those who are seeking the truth.
Have a wonderful, meaningful Shabbos.

Tisha B’Av (5774)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
It is difficult to understand why Tisha B’Av, the saddest day of the year is patur from Tachanun because it is referred to as a מועד which means that it is a יום טוב, a time of simcha. Can it be that just because of the simple reference to the word מועד the אבילות should get a דין of Yom Tov?
After we cut away all the fulfillment of the mitzvos of Yom Tov and the celebration the main inner point is the closeness with Hashem. On Tisha B’Av after we cut away the איכה, all the kinos and the many tears the essence, the inner point, is the closeness to Hashem. This could be the מועד.

Parshas Devorim (5774)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
1:8 Rashi says באו ורשו את הארץ. If you had not requested the meraglim you would have conquered Eretz Yisroel without any weapons!! A lack of belief and trust brings us to the need of what we could have been saved from.
Principle of principles for everything in life.
Moshiach, come and turn over Tisha B’Av to a day of salvation.
Have a wonderful Shabbos of yeshuos and hatzlachos.

Parshas Masai (5774)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
34:54 The chalukah was על פי גורל. It wasn’t a tool for fairness but rather the extension of the pure Yad Hashem.
Rashi says that the clarity and the expression of the boundaries was for the fulfillment of the mitzvos; not for the nationalistic information for Eretz Yisroel. Tremendous light.
Have a wonderful Shabbos. Hashem should protect all of Clal Yisroel.

Parshas Matos (5774)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
31:6 Rashi brings that one of the reasons that Pinchas was selected to lead the war against Midian was to avenge his great-great grandfather Yosef HaTzadik for the great wrong Midian did by selling him as a slave. We must say that the act was certainly deserving for Pinchas to lead the war for their destruction. They certainly knew clearly the עוולה of selling him. This is one of the great foundations that Hashem makes it clear to the one that is tested. They also were able to discern the greatness of Yosef from the spectacular appearance of his face.
This foundation holds its truth for all times and for all people;
השם שיודע הכל tests us ביושר. Let’s take inspiration from this. השם ירחם על עמו ישראל ad we should be zocheh to see the geula b’karov.
Have a wonderful Shabbos.
