(Vayikra 26:42) Rashi asks on this verse โ€œWhy is โ€˜rememberingโ€™ not stated on the verse with [...]

Letโ€™s Get Going!

Last week we read the โ€œTochachaโ€. Hashem warns Klal Yisrael that if they do not behave as they should, they will be cursed. Our Rabbis tell us that this parsha is traditionally read before Rosh Hashanah with the concept of โ€œThe year should end along with its curses.โ€ (Megilla 31 b) I once saw an [...]
