ONE THING at a TIME

[28b bottom] The Torah [Vayikra] states: “You shall not take a woman in addition to her sister to make them rivals.” This teaches that when two sisters fall to the same man (after their husband passing away childless), the brother cannot do Yebum with even one of them (this lesson is expounded in addition to the plain meaning of the verse).

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: We should also remember to keep at one Mitzvah and one obligation at a time. We should not take on two simultaneous tasks as we need to maintain proper focus, lest we be negligent with both of them.
