Why was Moses instructed to remove his shoes by the burning bush? The verse tells us because the land was holy. Similarly the priest in the temple would work without shoes on. We wear shoes to separate ourselves from the mundane and the physical the worldly. In the temple where the earth and the ground was holy we did whatever we could to connect to that level of spirituality and therefore the priest would not wear shoes.

The lesson we learn from Moshe leaving the palace and seeing to the needs of his fellow Jew

Whas it a new pharoah or did he just forget Yoseph ? Rashi shares 2 opinions Rav and Shmuel and both are consistent with their main focus of learning

By creation on the first day it says the word light oir five times. Let there be light. The whole book of Shmot is about going from darkness to light firstly the Exodus from Egypt secondly the giving of the Torah and thirdly the building of the Tabernacle

Why didn't Lev and Joseph carry the ark the coffin of their father yakov? Moishe carried the coffin of Yosef? With the passing of yakov the servitude began but as long as Joseph and then Levy were still alive it did not begin in full earnest. Therefore it would have been inappropriate for Levy and Yosef to be involved in carrying yakov's coffin which represents beginning of servitude when they in turn represented the delay in slavery

The custom is that the Sandek the person who holds the boy at a bris can only be Sandek for one boy in the family. If so how was it possible for Yosef to be the Sunday for the son's of Mochir? We compare the Sundek to bringing the ketores in the Bes Hamikdosh. The high priest could bring the ketores as many times as he wanted likewise the head of a community will be compared to the high priest and he too can bring the ketores in the same family on more than one occasion

Yakov neshama contained within it the souls of all Jews to the end of time. Therefore when we are told that yakov did not pass away it means that every Jew has within them part of the soul of yakov and therefore yakov is alive physically not in his own body as that body passed away but rather in the body of all the Jewish people till end of time.

The fact that the enemy surrounded the walls of Jerusalem on this day is also offering us an insight on how we can turn this day into a day of happiness. By surrounding the walls the Jews were not allowed to leave and no one could enter so in a sense the Jews were physically one. But we needed to have done was to become united in spirit as well

Why does yakov tell Joseph that I want to bless your two sons ephraim and menasha who were born in Egypt isn't it obvious that they were born in Egypt? This is to impress upon us that Jacob valued them greatly even though they were not exposed to any religious family members they still remain faithful to their tradition and their faith

Since we are following in the footsteps of yakov he too is very much still alive. Even though we have experienced great suffering throughout our history. And the exile has been lengthy we still walk in the footsteps of yakov. This further brings home the notion that yakov is very much still alive
