  In Parshas Tazria the Torah starts to share, The laws that pertain to Tzaraas that does appear. The Torah speaks initially, About Tzaraas on a person's body. Then the Torah speaks about Tzaraas that on garments do show, But only in Parshas Metzora that does follow, Does the Torah speak about how a person becomes pure. When you would think the subject is done, there is more in store. The Torah then begins to tell, The laws when Tzaraas is found in a house where a person does dwell. In this case, there is no interruption, The Torah immediately tells the details of purification. Why is there a separation, Between the laws of Tzaraas on a person, And the laws of his purification, Each found in a separate Torah portion? Why does the Torah discuss the Tzaraas that does appear, On garments that a person does wear, In middle of the discussion about Tzaraas on a human? It seems like an interruption. Why is the description of Tzaraas on walls of houses written, After the description of a p...

The Rebbe Rashab did say, Just a few hours before he passed away, “I am going to heaven, my writings I leave for you.” Through these writings, we “have” the Rebbe himself, it's true.

In contrast, “leave” means that the giver just provides the opportunity, For the...

In the Torah portions of Terumah and Tetzaveh the command was given, Regarding the Mishkan's construction. In Vayakhel and Pekudai is when the job got done, The Yidden actually built the Mishkan. At the beginning of Parahas Vayakhel, says Rashi, That the donations and construction of the Mishkan he explained already. But in some cases in Vayakhel, Rashi does give an explanation, For discussing the pegs again what is Rashi's reason? “The pegs of the Mishkan, the pegs of the courtyard, and their cords.” it does say, Rashi explains the words “The pegs” in a different way, Then he explained it in Parshas Terumah, which comes before, Why is there a change we must explore? In Parshas Vayakhel, the explanation found: “The pegs - in order to insert and fasten the ends of the drapes to the ground, So that through them in the wind they won't be swaying. The cords - ropes for tying.” In Parshas Terumah, Rashi already explained this matter, In the verse, “And all its pegs and all the p...
