Visible and Hidden: The New Sanctuary
We should not be surprised at Neziv being the champion of Oral Torah and Talmudic study. In fact, as the distinguished head of the &#8216;mother&#8217; Yeshivah of Eastern Europe in the 19th century this is exactly who he is and what he represents. The [...]]]></description>

The wedding ceremony is over. The plans for the couple&#8217;s new home and furnishings are prepared. Everything seems in order to produce a [...]]]></description>

The Sanctuary needs light in order to function. The world needs light in order to function. According to Neziv&#8217;s position on the structure of the Sanctuary, that it resembles the structure of the world, we can expect the Menorah, the source of light [...]]]></description>

 A General Explanation of the Purim Miracle
 -Rabbi Naphtali Zvi Yehudah Berlin
 &#8220;These Purim days will never cease from among the Judeans and their children will never stop remembering them.&#8221; (The use of the term &#8216;Judeans&#8217; rather than &#8216;Jews&#8217; for &#8216;Yehudim&#8217; will serve to clarify his message-hsj)

Rashi: They shall make in My name a place of sanctity. 
The phenomenon of a Holy Place seems to be universal in all societies. It is a place for the community [...]]]></description>

The Wedding Continues
Reading Yitro and Mishpatim together we see the continuity of the wedding process: conditions and terms that extend for many chapters, documents are written and then a final celebration with food and drink as the elders celebrate, or, lead the celebration.
