The first aliyah of this week’s parshah ends with the words ben Aharon hakohen (the first time these words are mentioned—4:28). The sixth aliyah ends with the words zeh korban Achira ben Einan (7:83).
Do not say Av Harachamim or Tzidkas’cha. After Minchah, read the first chapter of Pirkei Avos.
Today is the last day of the yemei tashlumin, when the Shavuos korbanos would be brought in the Beis Hamikdash.
It is the final chance to channel the spiritual energy of Shavuos for the rest of the year, through good resolutions inspired by the Yom Tov.
Beginning from today, resume saying Tachanun as usual. Tuesday night is the last night to recite kiddush levanah, which may be said the entire night.
Today marks the anniversary of the Frierdiker Rebbe’s imprisonment in the year 5687.
The Rebbe emphasizes that although at that time the arrest seemed to be a negative occurrence, in hindsight it became clear that it, too, was part of the Frierdiker Rebbe’s geulah, and was a step leading to the Frierdiker Rebbe’s increased activities after his release. Accordingly, today is a time to increase our commitment to spreading Torah, Yiddishkeit, and Chassidus.
