NOTHIN’ EXTRA

[8b bottom] The Rabbis quoting R’ Yosi bar Chanina:  If one performs Yebum (a brother marries his deceased brother’s wife) and then divorces her, he may remarry her again at a later date [as long as no one else married her in the meantime; just like the rules of a regular husband and wife who get divorced and then want to remarry again later]. This lesson is learned from the word “Ulikacha” (and you will take her).

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: Every single word of the Torah is important and teaches us something. There is no superfluous letter in the Torah. When we listen to the laining (Torah reading) during the week and on Shabbos, we should be cognizant of the fact that every word teaches us something and we should have in mind to be Yotze (fulfill the commandment) by making sure we hear every word of the Parsha (weekly portion).
