אלה מסעי בני ישראל ה’תשל”ט This class has about ten minutes (in the beginning) on the issue of fasts that fall on Shabbos and דעת רבי who says that once they were pushed away we shouldn’t fast at all. The Ma’amar is clear and classic: 1) we are journeying out of Egypt always, as each…

This Ma’amar addresses the lesson (and timeless relevance) of the entire discussion on the three sub-tribes of לוי and their meaning for us now.
