Hi,
Chazal teach that Hakadosh Baruch Hu built over 900 worlds before being happy with this one. Hashem doesn't need practice or retakes, so why did He need to do it more than once? Lessons from the Alter of Slobodka on building upon our previous work, and rising up when we fall.
Thanks for being a listener as we begin our 7th season.
Have a great Shabbos

Haazinu - Framing The Punishments
Haazinu is a shira about Jewish history, how we will experience Hashem's kindness, but then rebell from our state of comfort, and be punished for severely for it. How do we frame these calamities and our personal tzaros, are they simply punishments, or are they for the good of the world?
Have a good Shabbos and a Gmar Chasimah Tovah.

Nitzavim - Making Fences For Ourselves
We are told to use tricks to do battle with our Yetzer Harah. Avos DiRabbi Noson says Hashem explaining in the Parsha why the troubles that will befall the Jewish people befell them is an example of a fence. The Torah telling us to distance from Arayos is a fence. What fences around our weak spots can we make in our own lives to keep us out of trouble?
Have a K'Sivah V'Chasimah Tovah and a Good Shabbos
