Yud-Tes Shevat (22:32)
💬 Mitzvos are the “body parts” of Hashem. They are all ways to express what Hashem wants, what Hashem’s ratzon is in the world. That’s why even though Hashem hides in the rest of the world, mitzvos show us what Hashem really wants — so Hashem isn’t hidden in the mitzvos!

Yud-Ches Shevat (19:28)
Yud-Zayin Shevat (21:46)
💬 “By doing the mitzvos, even when you don’t understand them, you will deserve many special things! You will be connected to Hashem forever, and you will be Hashem’s treasure! You will be a Mamleches Kohanim and a Goy Kadosh, a holy nation. Your job will be different than the goyim — they will take care of the Gashmius world, and you will make the world into a place for Hashem.”

Tes-Vov Shevat - Chamisha-Asar B'Shevat (25:01)
💬 It takes a lot of hard work to do what we are supposed to do during Golus, but eating the delicious fruit on Chamisha-Asar B’Shvat reminds us that it is worth it to do all of this difficult work for the delicious “Geulah fruit” which we will get in the end when Moshiach comes!

Yud-Daled Shevat (22:46)
💬 Hashem could only give the Torah once Yisro, who knew about all the Avodah Zarah in the world, wanted to get the Torah with all of the Yidden. This teaches us that even the part of us that knows about all of the Gashmius and taavos of the world ALSO has to want to get the Torah!
