Simchas Avraham

There is a way to do certain mitzvahs that change the act entirely. The mitzvah of Sukkah is one of those.

When one does teshuva, he doesn't just get forgiven - he becomes a new person and is beloved by H-shem even more than one who didn't sin.

Teshuva, Tefilla, & Tzedaka are the most powerful tools to use now during these days. They have the most potency to turn over a bad decree.

Must one do teshuva to get into the category of a tzaddik? Why not just do another mitzvah?

There is a Halacha that one should bathe and have a haircut before Rosh Hashana because we're confident in the outcome. However, the Gemara tells us that we don't say Hallel on Rosh Hashana due to its severity. So what is it? It seems like a contradiction?!?!?

Sleep and death are related not just because we're not (totally) here. It could also be because a person can't be told to do either of them by someone else.

We down here in this world have the power to make Halachic decisions. How is that possible? Isn't the Torah spiritual?

Yes, it is. But we mortals can become immortal through it.

Writing a sefer torah is a mitzvah upon everyone. Why? To make sure you can use it at any time.

We as human beings have the free will to do as we wish. But how do we know that's true? What's the source?

The answer is found in this weeks parsha.

Bikkurim shows us that what we yield is only due to Hashem's help. That could be why it's read before Rosh Hashana. To remind us who the Real King is.
