Kabbolas HaTorah and the Uniqueness of Shabbos Parshas Yisro

Ba'er Heitev | February 16, 2026

Kabbolas HaTorah

Shabbos Kodesh Parshas Yisro is a very great Shabbos, as we read the Parsha of Kabolas HaTorah. The Shinover Rov ZY”A once traveled to his holy father the Sanzer Rov, the Divrei Chaim ZY”A, and he was greatly spiritually elevated. After this great experience the Shinover Rov was sure that if he would travel to his father for Shovuos he would experience an even higher Hissalus (spiritual elevation). As it transpired, it was not so. Shabbos Kodesh Parshas Yisro was of greater Hissalus.

Mipie Hashmu’ah.

Personal Redemption in the Exodus

I am Hashem... that has taken You out of Mitzrayim... Shemos 20:2

Explains The Rebbe Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk ZY”A, that Hashem Said, "I have taken You out of Mitzrayim", – in singular tongue, giving the importance that to each and every member of Klall Yisroel. Such was the redemption of every Yid, according to his level, and to the depth of His understanding.

“Tell me where Hashem is,” a father said to his young child, “And I will give you a ruble.” “Tell me where Hashem is not, and I will give you two rubles,” replied the intelligent child.
