The Tzitz can effect change in the status of an object, but cannot correct the thoughts of a person. Source Sheet
When two things (or individuals, or communities) are connected, each retains their own separate identity. Their chommer remains separate but together they create a different tzura. When they are joined rather than connected, both are part of something new and different from each of them. Not only their tzura but even their chomer is changed. One connects through transaction. One joins through investment. Source Sheet

What we do in life is ever-changing and needs to be attuned to circumstance and environment. How we do it is never-changing; it is governed by our covenant with Hashem. The Korban Oleh veYored is a circumstantial korban that is attuned to the socio-economic level of the individual, it is about the person’s product and therefore it is variable. How it is brought is governed by the never-changing Brit represented by the salt – especially in the case of the Mincha. Source Sheet
The service of G-d is not about self-sacrifice, it is about elevating one’s life to the higher purpose of the service of Hashem (Korban). Self-sacrifice is just a necessary means to being able to offer one’s life to the service of G-d. When elevating our production to Hashem, sacrificing of that production is at the core of the service. Source Sheet

Taking steps to prevent people from viewing us with unfounded suspicion is a uniquely human quality. It is not about being sensitive to other people’s opinions of us, it is about building and preserving connection. Source Sheet
There are two ways to view statements that contradict reality. They could be seen as irrelevant and void, or as blatantly false. Source Sheet
We often say “the thought is what counts.” But this is not always so. Sometimes the action is what counts. Source Sheet

There is a third space1 between public and personal spaces – the communal space. Source Sheet
Observing events, no matter how dramatic, does not transform people. Knowing the Torah alone also does not transform. Linking Torah to life events and perpetuating experience through observance has transformational impact on individuals and our nation. Source Sheet
Silence is not supression. Sometimes we process through expression and sometimes we process through silence. Suffering is best processed in silence. Source Sheet
Miraclesd are not only about what happens in our lives, they are also about how quickly things can happen in our lives. We should live with openness to the possibility of accelerated timelines for events that are not date-dependent. We should never limit our potential with “realistic” time-frames. Source Sheet
There are times to work with nature and times to defy it. But defying nature is not about the results we get but about the growth we achieve in the process. Source Sheet
