The Four Parshiyos -- Steps to Total Teshuvah

by HaRav Nosson Meir Wachtfogel zt'l

This very fundamental shmuess can be read with profit weekly for the next few weeks.

Chazal (Megilla 29a, Shulchan Oruch 685) instituted the custom of reading the four parshiyos from the Torah as a distinctive preparation for Pesach, the yom tov of our redemption, since every yom tov needs its own preparation. The combination of all four parshiyos lays a complete groundwork for Pesach. By reading parshas Shekolim and so on until parshas Hachodesh, we increasingly smooth the way for greeting the yom tov in a proper manner.


Our Next Step . . .

by Mordecai Plaut

The most important thing that we can do is certainly to fulfill the mitzvos as they are incumbent upon us: remembering Amolek, and feasting on Purim.
