Parshas Behaalosecha – Loving Our Mitzvos
This week we are introduced to a novel and nearly unique concept in the Torah. Imagine, you are ship wrecked on a desert island and are there for 30 days. While you are there comes the YomTov of Succos. Of course you abstain from Melacha and fashion whatever type of “Seuda” you can muster up, […]
