Parshas Tetzaveh (Zachor) 5785

R’ Yaakov Tzvi Mecklenburg zt”l (Haksav V’Hakabbala) would say: “'ועשית חשן משפט' - The letters of the word 'חשן' are the reverse of the word 'נחש', from the root meaning sorcery or divination. Sorcery is the harnessing and utilization of spiritually impure forces to discern the future. By contrast, the breastplate of judgment, with its Urim V’Tumim, clarified the unknown through the power of holiness.”


A Wise Man would say: “For a person to have what you have never had, you have to do what you have never done.”
