Shiur designated in loving memory of Harav Shu”B R’ Yisroel Ben R’ Pinchos A”H. A learned man in his own right, who loved and lived with Torah and those who learned it, lover of peace and master of harmony (he wrote music for a 40 person choir that sang along to his rhythm in all tones and ranges). An Inspiration to all who heard him (sing).

May his memory be a blessing, and may we merit to hear once again his beautiful voice and hymns in the Third and final Beis Hamikdash may it be rebuilt speedily in our days.

At what point does it revert back to the way the Torah allows the ביאור (destruction of the Chametz).

Interesting scenarios

Erev Pesach that falls out on shabbos, what do we do when and how?

Discrepancies, and scenarios in checking for chametz. The disrupting mouse.

Hearing the 10 commandments, celebrating by eating food, keeping milk and meat separate

Part of the Haggadah

A little bit about the search, early Shachris, finishing our meals before the 4th hour, no Mizmor Lesoda -Ch. 100 in Tehillim -psalms-.

Nasi, No Tachanun, no mizmor lesoda, no fasting.

Each one prior to its holiday

The Alter Rebbe introduces us to the laws of Pesach based on how we are commanded in the Torah, subtotal of 8 -3 positive, 5 negative-.

5 books of Moshe, 24 books of prophets and writings, Mishna, Gemara/Talmud. Rambam, Rif, Rash, Tur -Rabbeinu Yakov-, Bais Yosef -R’ Yosef Karo-, Ramah -R’ Moshe Iserlish-. Alter Rebbe

Beginning with the sale of Yosef, to the receiving of the Torah.

The Who, the what, the when, and almost the how. The half silver dollar is for each family member.

Zachor one is obligated to hear, a commandment from the Torah. GO TO SHUL!!

Haman and his sons are hanged. The 13th is a public fast day. Two dates to be remembered, for all unwalled cities the 14th day of the month of Adar, and the walled cities the 15th. Esther and Mordechai wrote down the story to be named Megilas Esther “to establish these days of Purim” to never be forgotten from the Jews, the kindness of HaShem which they had endured on this day, to thank HaShem by reading the story by night and by day, by giving two food types to one friend, by giving gifts to the poor, and by feasting.

Esther’s concern for hamans lasting decree. Mordechai issues a new decree.

Haman is hanged!!

Haman comes to the king at night to tell him of his devious plan, only to find out that his end is soon to come.

Haman is enraged against Mordechai and builds a gallows, 50 cubits high

Mordechai calls on the Superior -the woman- that she save the Jewish nation

Mordechai doesn’t bow!

New decrees

Aside from the laws and customs of this day, it’s important to know the reason for such a great celebration, therefore we will first read through the story!

Where to light, how to light, how many blessings (difference between the first and all other nights) what to eat, additions in prayer, addition in tzedaka, Torah readings, working, sitting in front of the candles (half hour), total burning time (50 minutes), lighting towards the end of sunset, who’s obligated to light, lighting before shabbos, lighting after shabbos.

On the 25th day they rested! HASHEM delivered us and saved us from their hands

The Torah tells us we must fast on the ninth day, why? What is done on the ninth day, do we eat?

The day following Rosh Hashana was established as a public fast day, for it was on that day that all the Jewish where complete removed from Jerusalem specifically and from judea in general. The glory was only restored when the Ramban made pilgrimage up to yerushalayim (not in the podcast but important to note)

Malchuyos -coronation-, zichronos -remembrances-, shofros -blasting of the shofar- havdala.

How can the shofar be cleaned

The one blowing the shofar must stand when doing so. Two blessings are made. The leader of the prayers for shachris -the morning prayer- points in for the blower of the shofar

Hallel is not recited, immediately after the repetition of the amidah the prayer of Avinu Malkeinu is recited, followed by the opening of the ark, the prayer of the 13 attributes of mercy, two scrolls are then taken out, HaShem remembers his promise to our mother Sarah, the shofar blower, the passage caller, and a Bris in shul

To be like the head and not like the tale. Multiple like fish. Dip the apple in the honey make a brocho… for a happy sweet new year! A bed of water that contains a school of fish. To eat or say Yehi Ratzoin -May it be your will..-

I’m not sure how it works, but it does say it’s possible to comment, you if you have any comments don’t hold back from saying them, no matter what it may be! When we say something 90 times we become accustomed to it and it becomes a second nature. Shabbos shuva, why’s it called that?! 4 additional special prayers, learning Derech Eretz -common decency-, greeting one another on the way home from shul

The 10 days used to return to HaShem. Praying properly. Sacrifices

There are 3 daily prayers. There are ___ blessings in each one, and on these holy days there’s a change. You should be inscribed and sealed for a good year.

On the day before Rosh Hashana we annul our Vows. We write a soul redeeming letter. On the day of Rosh Hashana man and obviously woman were created. Avoiding the cigarette.

18th day of the month marks 12 days left to the month, 12 days=12 months=additional self reflection. Prior to Rosh Hashana we begin saying the prayer of return (selichot/selichos) monthly we bless the coming month, do we bless the month where we are solemn, as well?!

Rosh Chodesh -the head of every month-. On day one we say chapter 27. On day two we blow the shofar and begin 3 chapters daily. Chapter 27? When?!.. shofar?! Now?!? 3 chapters?!? Daily?!? Two days of what?!

The month of Elul represents?!… mercy, returning to HaShem, all in order to receive the great blessings.

The two awesome months, on the lunar calendar, what’s the connection to the Jewish people?! Customs, (the good kind 😜). Elul=mercy. Elul+Retuning=revelation!
