The Real Value of Mitzvos
“This shall be the reward when you hearken to these ordinances…” (Devarim 7:12) Rashi: If even the lighter commands which a person usually treads on with his heels (i.e. which a person is inclined to treat lightly), he will hearken to.

בונים על ההריסות
וְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת ה' אֱלֹקֶיךָ בְּכׇל־לְבָבְךָ וּבְכׇל־נַפְשְׁךָ וּבְכׇל־מְאֹדֶךָ׃ (דברים ו:ה) התורה אומרת לנו שאנו מחויבים ל"אהבה את ה' בכל לבבך ובכל נפשך". מצווה זו מכונה באופן כללי "אהבת ה'". ישנה מצווה נוספת הנקראת "יראת שמים" המתייחסת ליראת ה'. למה שלא נגיד "יראת ה'" ו/או "אהבת שמים"?. מדוע "אהבה" הולכת עם "ה'" ואילו המילה "שמים" עם "יראה"?

The Natural Conclusion
"The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s trough: but Yisrael does not know, my people does not consider." (Isaiah 1:3) In this week’s Haftara we find the prophet complaining that though donkey may know his trough, Klal Yisrael doesn’t know Hashem. The Baalei Mussar ask, how is it fair to make such [...]
