After the sin - Adam makes a belt  In Egypt we were commanded to eat the Pesach sacrafice wearing a belt  The Kohen must wear a belt 32 amot long  We make a special blessing each morning Ozer Yisrael Bigvurah relating to our belt  Shulchan Aruch: One needs to gird oneself with a girdle at the time of prayer; even if one wears a sash, such that one's heart does not 'see' one's nakedness, because of concentration. But for the rest of the blessings it is permitted to bless them without a belt, so long as one is wearing trousers

 “When you come to the Land and plant any food tree, you shall treat its fruit as orlah; for three years it shall be orlah to you, they shall not be eaten.”  [Vayikra 19:23] The halacha is that if one plants a tree and the tree produces fruit during the first three years of its growth, those fruits are forbidden to be eaten. They are known as “orlah”. Adam could not wait. It was for the best of reasons, but he did not wait. He ate from the tree prematurely and unfortunately, the world changed forever for the worse. theBrisker Rav once officiated at a wedding during which the ring fell into the grass as it was about to be slipped onto the bride’s finger, completing the marriage ceremony.

On the other hand, if, chas v’shalom, there is a lack of unity within the realm of kedushah, it creates unity among the reshaim.  

At the beginning of the Passover Seder, we announce that whoever is hungry, let him come and eat, and it’s sort of anopening announcement to invite strangers into the Seder with us. But the problem is ....  Story heard from Rabbi Chaim Rosenfeld from AriRosenberg regarding a Charitable organization in Chicago   

Rabbi Abittan would often quote the Baal Haturim on theopening word of this week’s portion. “The aleph of Vayikra is written as a small letter because Moshe wanted to write Vayikar (and it happened), the way it is written (when Hashem appears to) Bilaam, which implies Hashem appeared to him only as a chance occurrence. Hashem, however, told Moshe to write the alephwhich indicates His love. Moshe compromised and made the aleph small.”    To illustrate let me share a story told by Dr. Alan Morinis, Founder of The Mussar Institute, who is a leading figure in the contemporary revival of the Mussar movement  When we come to the synagogue and look upon the hechal, andwe see the words above which may vary from Synagogue to Synagogue, But the words we face are meant to remind us to recognize who we are standing in front of or remind us that we should place Hashem in front of us always - this helps us to temper the run-away ego.     I want to share a story I heard yesterday from Rabbi ShlomoLandau. He heard the story directly from the protagonist Rav Chaim, a well know Kiruv speaker in Eretz Yisrael for Arechim – an outreach organization. As you listen to the story, I want you tothink about what you would’ve done along the way 

Better to Cause others than to do  Based on Midrash and Zerah Shimshon  Moshe's reward for the Mishkan Menashe Influence lives on 

 “And you shall be clear before the Lord and before Israel” (Numbers32:22).     Meaning that we can say God knows what I’m all about and do things thatlook wrong. We have to do the right thing in the eyes of the people.     But what about a case where I have a constant critic. Do I have to adjustmy life for that person? And it seems not because Moses does his debts bestwith Datan but everyone knows that no matter what he does Datan is going tocriticize him.     G-d called Moshe 'trustworthy' (Bamidbar 12:7). Why then didMoshe need to make a public accounting in front of all the people?     Moshe had overheard remarks such as 'Ben Amram’s (Moshe’s) neck isgetting pretty fat lately.' 'No wonder. He’s in charge of all thatmoney for the Mishkan!'     Certainly, these remarks were only made by lowlifes. The Jewish People asa whole trusted Moshe but they were puzzled about Moshe’s sudden wealth. Theydidn’t know that G-d had let Moshe keep the fragments of sapphire left overfrom the hewing of the second Tablets. These splinters of sapphire made Mosheextremely wealthy.     Moshe was scrupulous to a ‘T’ with the donations he received for theMishkan, but nevertheless he gave an accounting because he didn’t want to besuspected falsely of doing a little laundering on the side.     From Moshe, our Teacher, we can learn that it’s not enough for us to dothe right thing, but we must also be seen to do the right thing.

Why the Megillah needs to be read in order Impossible to understand the full picture from within 

Moshe achieved a tikun for the neshamah of Noach, who did not do as he did.  Nechoshet VeAtath Noach Shet and You Moshe was a gilgul of Noach, who was a gilgul of Shet. HKB”H does not mention Moshe’s name in this parsha, because of his act of self-sacrifice, praying on behalf of his generation: Thus, he rectified the neshamah of Noach, as alluded to by the word Mecheni As pointed out, the word shemen is an acronym for the three gilgulim—which were purified completely in the person of Moshe. Olive oil, that is extracted from the olive with great effort, alludes to Torah-study that a person does not keep to himself; he releases it and shares it with others. Therefore, it is capable of restoring Torah that has been forgotten for seventy years. This, in fact, accurately describes the difference between Noach and his gilgul—Moshe Rabeinu. Even though Noach was a tzaddik; nevertheless, he resembled the olive that keeps its oil trapped inside. He did not make an effort to venture out and teach his generation the ways of the Torah and its mitzvot. In contrast, Moshe Rabeinu resembled olive oil; he taught Torah to all of Yisrael. Thus, in his gilgul, he rectified Noach’s flaw.

Crushing the Olive for the Oil Oil does not mix with other liquids 'Benai Yisrael are likedned to the pure oil Sometimes we require pressure to reveal our true and holy selves '

 מֶ֗לֶךְ בְּ֭מִשְׁפָּט יַעֲמִ֣יד אָ֑רֶץ וְאִ֖ישׁ תְּרוּמ֣וֹת יֶהֶרְסֶֽנָּה   Through justice a king establishes a land, but the man of Terumos will destroy it.” [Mishlei 29:4]    TheMedrash tanchuma elaborates:      אִם מֵשִׁים אָדָם עַצְמוֹכַּתְּרוּמָה הַזּוֹ שֶׁמֻּשְׁלֶכֶת בְּזָוִית הַבַּיתוְאוֹמֵר מַה לִּי בְּטֹרַח הַצִּבּוּר, מַהלִּי בְּדִינֵיהֶם, מַה לִּי לִשְׁמֹעַ קוֹלָם,שָׁלוֹם עָלַיִךְ נַפְשִׁי, הֲרֵי זֶה מַחֲרִיבאֶת הָעוֹלָם. הֱוֵי וְאִישׁ תְּרוּמוֹת יֶהֶרְסֶנָּה.  This implies that if a man acts as though he were a terumah (the portion separated, or set aside, for the priests) by secluding himself in the corner of his home and declaring: “What concern are the problems of the community to me? What does their judgment mean to me? Why should I listen to them? I will do well (without them),” he helps to destroy the world. Hence the man of separation (terumah) overthroweth it.  Rabbi Frand on Rav Assi

Shemot - The Secret of Success through the Three Alephs based on the Shvilei Pinchas  The Chida, zy”a, writes in Avodat Kodesh (7), “concerning the appellation: ” אהיה אשר אהיה . Heexplains that this name employed in tefilah is capable of affecting salvation for everything in the world: I found in the manuscripts of the kabbalists that it is “ appropriate for a person to pray to the appellation אהיה אשר אהיה ” for any problem in this world — for sickness, for children, for wisdom, to be remembered, for monetary matters, to be saved from a storm at sea, for danger on the roads. It is essential, however, that he be pure, and that he utter sincerely: “Let it be the will of the esteemed name אהיה אשר אהיה ” “ that You have mercy on me and act on my behalf.” He should state his request clearly, and should repeat it three times. יהי רצון מלפניך השם הגדול אהיה , אשר אהיה שתרחם עלי ותעשה, וישאל בקשתו בלשון ברור, וכן יאמר ג’ פעמים But how does this work? Additionally, it is worth examining the statement in the TikuneiZohar (144b) that with the words: ” — “ אהיה אשר אהיה HKB”H alludes to tefillin shel yad and tefillin shel rosh. For, in thefour passages contained in the tefillin shel rosh, the name Havayaappears twenty-one times — the numerical value of thename אהי”ה ; this is alluded to by the first אהי”ה . Similarly, inthe four passages contained in the tefillin shel yad, the nameHavaya appears twenty-one times — accounting for thesecond mention of the name אהי”ה . Thus, the two tefillin together are alluded to by the phrase: ” אהיה אשר אהיה “.
