Faith, Fanaticism, and the Binding of Isaac
What’s the difference between a man of faith and a fanatic? The fanatic gives his life for a tangible cause. The man of faith dedicates his life to a goal he knows he can never achieve and does whatever the hour demands. The fanatic knows one path. The man of faith knows there are endless paths and is ready to take whichever one he must. The fanatic has all the answers. The man of faith knows he knows nothing at all. Abraham was a man of faith.
Commentaries on the Torah - Traditional Interpretations of the Bible

The Shema Prayer: Sights and Sounds
He says the idea of "plural" referring to the plurality of sounds, the word after word, the necessity of involvement to "get it" as opposed to the "singularity" of sight in the 1st paragraph...but the plural in paragraph two refers specifically to something completely other than what he is claiming somehow is "hidden" there. Just the fact that the 2nd person plural is used in the 2nd paragraph doesn't connect to what he is saying, yet he is claiming a connection.

Now That's a Great Question! - The Wise Son in the Passover Haggadah
Now That's a Great Question!: The Wise Son in the Passover Haggadah Much has been written about the wise son's question in the Haggadah, for his question appears to betray nothing but ignorance. This talk reveals the enormous profundity of the wise son's question—a question we all need to ask. (Based on the maamar Ki Yishalcha Bincha 5738—a chassidic discourse of the Rebbe, which upon publication, he personally distributed to thousands of men, women and children) Topics: Wise Son, Passover

Bread of Poverty - A Passover Class
Bread of Poverty: A Passover Class The requirement to eat bland, unleavened bread i.e. Matzah made exclusively from flour and water at the Seder, is unique to our observance. By contrast, at the original Seder in Egypt on the night before the Exodus, it was permissible to eat enriched matzah, i.e. flour mixed with fruit juice or egg.
Saturday Night "Melaveh Malka" Meal
Thank you once again for your enlightenment on Shabbat meals. I also can see the importance of that meal relating to the blessing of the Manna in the desert. The Manna had to be consumed before morning for it would have become corrupted thus the dishonor the blessing and offending G-d. So too, another reason that that meal after Shabbat in the evening of Chabbis (sorry if the spelling is wrong)for it too, if not eaten, would have become corrupted.
Amar R. Acha, 5747
"R. Acha said: 'The talk (sichah) of the servants of the patriarchs is more attractive than the teachings (Torah) of [their] descendants.
Vayera in a Nutshell
The name of the Parshah, "Vayera," means "And He appeared" and it is found in Genesis 18:1. G‑d reveals Himself to Abraham three days after the first Jew’s circumcision at age ninety-nine; but Abraham rushes off to prepare a meal for three guests who appear in the desert heat. One of the three—who are angels disguised as men—announces that, in exactly one year, the barren Sarah will give birth to a son. Sarah laughs. Abraham pleads with G‑d to spare the wicked city of Sodom.
