By Rabbi Berach Steinfeld  
                In Gemara Brachos 8b and Menachos 99b we learn from the fact the broken pieces of the first luchos were kept inside the Aron in the mishkan that we have to be careful with a zaken who forgot his learning because of an illness. Rashi clarifies that this refers to a talmid chacham who forgot his learning via illness or because he did not have parnassa and had to go to work.

In this week’s installment of The Inner Dimension, a half-hour Chassidus power class on the parsha, we learn a few beautiful teachings from the Mei HaShiloach about the importance of simplicity, the necessity to treat ever Jey with respect, and the difference between a “Yisro” personality and an “Amalek” personality. We also learn a beautiful remez from the Degel on the words “Vayishma Yisro” regarding always keeping the important things in mind and spiritual minimalism.

In this packed parsha class, we explored two ideas from the Mei HaShiloach; the first regarding the importance of striking a balanced approach to life including both confidence and awe and the second a brilliant explanation of “pi hachiros” and the true definition of freedom, a teaching from the Kedushas Levi regarding the elevated status our nation holds over the angels, and a lesson from the Noam Elimelech about an indicator as to the nature of one’s week.
