OPINION & COMMENT We have suffered a very long golus and it is certainly not over yet. We know that there were and are four major aspects to the golus throughout the years, based on the vision in Doniel (7). Beautiful People and Animal Beauty: An Essay For Chanukah The mishnah in Megilloh (8) says, "Rabbon Shimon ben Gamliel said, 'Even seforim were only allowed to be written in Greek.' " A Unique Nation In the first part, HaRav Shapira noted that we have been in a long golus and had to move whenever we forgot about our uniqueness. Although there are many segulos in Eretz Yisroel, there is danger as well. In particular there is danger from the non-religious since one could become close to them and learn from their ways.

Greatness In Righteousness, Greatness In Wickedness The first part discussed the greatness of mal'ochim and of Yaakov Ovinu in that he used them as messengers as it says at the beginning of parshas Vayishlach. It then points out that Eisov was not impressed by the mal'ochim because he was used to them. It then discussed the importance of kosher money and how much great tzaddikim value it, and concluded with a story about Heavenly intercession for R' Chaim of Volozhin to enable him to say a brocho to drink by sending him someone to answer omein.

Meoros Daf HaYomi A "Whole" Mitzvah, And Not Just Part Each person amongst the tens of thousands who study Daf HaYomi is unique, because of the special way that he contributes to the shiur, and because of his unique perception of the material being learned.
