  Thank you for the shir.

  May I please suggest you read less of the Hebrew which ,many do not understand , and stay more with English.  Also, please give the number of the sentence in English not by using the Hebrew alphabet which we don’t know.

  Perspective
  Thank you for bringing together and highlighting the nuances of Divine Providence at work, when brought together these give us a glimpse into the vast—often unreachable—depth of our world, God's creation.
  
  What i find even more moving, is the Rebbe's presentation of Judaism in it's truest form. So pure, that we need not compromize or become defensive to show the fairness and humanness of Torah law.

  Comment.
  I understand that you are saying that we no longer have lashes but we do have a lot of Divine Punishments being meted out these days.
  
  In terms of a person understanding the consequences of his/her actions I really have seen some unbelievable things where it's just so hard for me to believe that the person was so evil that they deserved the unusual thing to happen to that person.
  
  But what if it is the case that by a person not listening it could destroy the fabric of our society? I just hope that we can figure out how to give proper understanding to those who need it before any axe needs to fall (myself included!).

  Neil Armstrong's Missing 'A'
  BS"D
  It is fascinating to contemplate that each of us has a significant role to perform in order to realize G-D's purpose for the Universe!
  This should be cross-referenced with Rabbi Simon Jacobson's essay in which he says (in answer to an agnostic)that no engineer would design a complex machine that had no purpose.
  
  This is definitely inspiring.

  Tzur
  Tzur in chasidus has a very deep potential as we know if you strike it together you can ignite a flame representing the flame of the neshomo, and the stone can even be submerged in water for a long time but still can create a fire.
  
  Rabbi Jacobson said that the selah has the water but the tzur has the fire!
  Just a thought.

  Two answers
  YHVH Name
  I have two answers to the question about permutations of the YHVH Name. Some say 12 . Some say 24.The 12 answer comes from YHVH representing " of the 12 permutations " hours of daytime, or the H is the same letter, and only counted once. 24 comes from the " 12 of the permutations " represent daytime. There is a difference between " Of the 12 " and " 12 of ". 24 also comes from the first Hay and final Hay being two different Hays in terms of meaning.

  small remark
  In our past, we struck rocks, to make dressed stones, and built the Beis Ha Mikdash with them. Today, we go to the Kotel, and we speak to the stones, we do not strike them. So history re-enacts the incident with a better outcome. We lost the Beis Ha Mikdash made of stones, and built another one, made of words. (If Moses had never made this mistake, his only mistake, he would have been too perfect a man.That might have resulted in him being venerated, G-d forbid.)

I wait all week for Monday night, when I can have, for a few moments, light, and inspiration. May G-d bless you, and your sponsors for spreading such holiness in the world. I thank you from the depth of my heart, with an appreciation mere words can never express.

  Tzur
  As explained in class, G-d as Tzur is usually associated in Tanach with his name Elokim, represnting the G-dliness often embedded and deeply concealed within the "rock" of existance, where man must struggle to discover the underlying spiritual core of all reality.

  Transparency
  No need to be defensive. My name is Jack, living in Kew Garden Hills, working in Brooklyn -- nothing to hide. I happen to be a techie, and have been working on different sites and "viewer counters." When someone directed me to the large numbers you were advertising (30,000) I was curious and went to check it out. My question is coming from a sincere place, and just thought it would be good to understand how the numbers are tallied.
  
  And btw, statistics show that many people will press play several times (they may stop it and restart or for various other reasons), as well as press mp3 more than once.
  
  AT the same time, more than one person may be viewing a particular webcast.

  questions
  you mention it´s needed another kind of leadership for entering Isroel but then nothing is mentioned about.
  why it shouldn´t be sanctified HaShem´s name by strucking the rock? It´s a miraculous way too…. And when HaShem asked Moses to talk with it they were alone, people doesn´t know which should be the right way.

  another explanation
  There is another explanation: Moshe Rabbeinu, showed true leadership and order that G-d should never have a plausible complaint to the Jews, that even a "domem" (rock) listened to Me when I spoke but the midaber (yidden) didn’t… so he displayed true leadership and gave up his lifelong dream not to go into Eretz Yisroel in order give the Jews a pass for later in their history…

  In any event, they are not trying to exaggerate numbers, it seems that it is merely functional. Why would you need to click the play button more than once?

  Numbers of viewers?
  In the name of transparency, I was wondering whether the number of "viewers" you display reflect actual viewers, or it adds a "viewer" each time the viewer (even the same one) clicks the play button. Because when I tried it myself, each time I clicked play the number of viewers went up by one.
  For ethical purposes, it would be wise to reflect the accurate count of viewers, so as not to create exaggerated numbers.

  another difference between the 2 incidents cited is the word used for "livestock". In Beshelach, mikneh is used; in Chukat, b'ier. What is the significance of this?
  mikne is also "purchased"; bi'er is related to fire, burning as well as the verb for rooting out, elimination e.g. bi'ur hametz.
