  1. Vayechiתשפ״ו

    The Great Impediment

    The essay explores the cryptic blessing 'Veyidgu Larov' given to Ephraim and Menashe, specifically examining a Medrash that links their speech impediment (the 'Shibbolet' incident) to the nature of fish. It argues that this physical impediment was actually a sign of spiritual elevation, where the Neshama is so dominant that it becomes disconnected from the physical act of speech, mirroring the developmental stages of Moshe Rabbeinu's own speech.
