With Rabbi Choni Friedman from Pittsburgh, PASupport us here  We are excited to launch a Shir Hashirim Weekly Daf Cycle to be learned in addition to the Daily Daf of Torah Ohr in order to finish the entire Torah Ohr / Likkutei Torah in one year!“Shir Hashirim asher l'Shlomo, yashekeini m'nishikas pihu, ki tovim dodecha m'yayin”Hashem is called Chosson, and BN”Y (collectively and individually) are called Kallah. Chosson implies hashpaah: Hashem gives Himself to BN”Y through Torah.Kalah implies 1) nullification, and 2) desire.In Krias Shemah, there are two types of MS”N. The first is related to “Echad”, and the second to “B'chol nafshecha”.Q1- what are these two types of MS”N?Q2- what is the difference between the two?Q3- if the first one implies complete bittul, how does one then have the second one, which is a result of realizing that Hashem is the source of one's life?A1/2/3: The first kind of MS”N occurs when one contemplates the fact that from the perspective of Ein Sof, nothing exists outside of Hashem (Echad). From this perspective, Chillul Hashem= identifying something as being separate/distinct from Hashem, including one's own self. One's desires are completely nullified, and all that is left is one's desire to be enveloped in Ein Sof (mi li bashomayim). (This is the perspective of YICH”I)The second type of MS”N comes when one is aware of one's self and the world as separate from Hashem, but desires to come close to Hashem. In between these two types of MS”N (and the source of the latter) is Boruch shem, which represents the way Hashem is invested in creating the world, and yet at the same time, the world is not really separate from Elokus (This is the perspective of YICH”T)Through this, we can go from the level of echad to the level of bchol nafshecha. The two types of Kallah correspond to two types of Chosson.The first type of Chosson (we will discuss the second type next week)We need to understand the idea of “shmo hagadol”, “hu ushmo bilvad”:Hakadosh Baruch Hu= Atzmus. “yoshev v'osek b'Torah”= the way Atzmus invests itself in Torah.

When Hashgachah decides that 'today's Daf' and 'this week's Parsha' (or other Inyana D'Yoma) are going to connect in an obvious way, we are Zocheh to the 'Divine Kiss' and revelation that is Inyana D'Yomi/עִנְיָנָא דְיוֹמִי! When that occurs (and it does constantly), we don't just give it a shout-out, but we meditate and ask ourselves what lesson or Torah ideal is being called to our attention. What is the Divine message? In this pilot episode, we will review over 20x this Daf Yomi cycle when the Weekly Parsha and Daily Daf came together in incredible fashion to add fireworks to our Talmud Torah!

Study Guide Rosh Hashanah 5 Today's daf is sponsored by Jennifer in honor of  Paul Corwin. "Thank you for introducing me to the Daily Daf and for making every step of this life journey a joy. You yourself are a Tree of Life. Your heart is full of all the warmth of Shabbat and wherever you go you leave Mitzvahs behind. All blessings to you my dear friend." The Gemara continues the discussion from a braita regarding the five approaches regarding when one is obligated for delaying bringing a sacrifice. Those who derived from the verse “On the holiday of the matzot, on the holiday of Shavuot and on the holiday of Sukkot” an analogy from Pesach to Shavuot that one has seven days in which to bring the Chagiga sacrifice even on Shavuot, what do they derive from the reference to Sukkot in the verse? They make an analogy from Pesach to Sukkot that one needs to stay overnight in Jerusalem on the holiday. The ones who need the verse about the holidays to relate to delays in sacrifices, from where do they derive that on Shavuot one has seven says to bring the Chagiga sacrifice? They learn it from Rosh Chodesh. The Gemara refers back to the braita that mentioned all the types of sacrifices/promises in which the prohibition to delay is effective. In this braita, a Pesach sacrifice is mentioned. Why? Doesn’t it need to be brought on Pesach – how can one offer it on a different holiday. One answer is that it got there by mistake. Another is to say that it is referring to one who designated an animal for Pesach but did not sacrifice it – in that case, it becomes a peace offering. Another braita is brought which takes the verse where delaying is mentioned – only in reference to a vow – and derives from it the other types of items that we saw previously.  Two other laws are derived from this verse. One is: “he" and not his exchange. The Gemara tries to determine what is meant by exchange. Another is: "And in thee was sin." From there they derive that the sin is upon the person but the sacrifice is not disqualified. A question is raised against this as it seems to be derived from a different verse by the firstborn.
