Half-FULL

[21a top] Levi discusses Yom Kippur and calls it the “Big Day.” We also know that the Shabbos before Pesach is called the “Big Shabbos.” Even though we term these days great due to their holiness and miraculous natures, many lose sight and joke the is is so big ang long because we are stuck in Shul all day and have to listen to lengthy Rabbis’ speeches.

E’s Lesson: There are always (at least) two ways to view a situation. We should always choose the holier option with a positive spin. We may have to endure hardships anyway, but if we choose to Thank Hashem (because He knows what is best for us) rather than complain, instead of more obstacles and closed doors, G-d opens all His windows to pour forth more redemption on us.
