00:00 – Dedications.
00:41 – Review and conclusion of Torah 221. In Parparaot LeChokhmah, the Tcheriner Rav explains that rather than relying on Hashem’s forgiveness (as a vatran – forgiving One) it’s better for a person to see Hashem as opposing our mistakes, as in “I place Hashem opposite me always.” (Tehillim/Psalms 16:8).
09:54 – TORAH 222. The importance of simcha (joy). How to use memory to achieve happiness.
