โAharon said to Moshe: I beg you, Hashem, do not cast a sin upon us, for we have been foolish and we have sinned.โ (Bamidbar 12:11) Aharon and Miriam were involved in speaking lashon hara about Moshe Rabbeinu, yet when they were punished, Miriam got Tzaraas and Aharon seemed to only get reprimanded. Aharon becomes [...]

As we know, Shavuos is the time that we celebrate the giving of the Torah. The luchos habris were the physical expression of our bond with Hashem. However, that original article of our connection was destroyed by Moshe Rabbeinu shortly thereafter. It then took us a few months to receive a second set. The Shla [...]

Theย early commentators tell us that this is what is meant by the idea โmiโmacharas hashabasโ, which means we start counting from after Pesach until Shavuos. There are those who have a custom that someone who misses a [...]
