A gutte Voch

Back from 'dutcheh'.

A bit "sudoku'd" out!

I found out what happens if you leave potato's or apples in the fire for too long.
Isn't it amazing how wood gets consumed by fire? After hours of adding wood, including a great deal of fat logs, all you're left with at the end of the night is a small pile of soot. Makes for a good ho'roah.

I think boggle is a fascinating game. My sister is right - we shouldn't even count three letter words. And make sure to have a more advanced dictionary than a grade-six one.

Now for an interesting vort I learnt:
Chassidus always grabs parshas Chukas to emphasize how every mitzvah, at its core, is essentially G-d's will, which stands higher than any rationale. Therefore, one may not judge between more or less important mitzvahs, and must keep them all with an equal feeling of obligation.
The Rebbe takes this idea and applies it to hafatza as well. It is not in our control to decide which mitzvos are important to influence on our 'mekurovim', but rather, we are empowered with a shlichus to influence our 'mekurovim' with all the mitzvahs possible, even the most seemingly simple and insignificant ones.

I reckon this is difficult. It also means that we have to be scrupulous about them ourselves.

In any case, gotta run. Hope your Shabbos was uplifting!
