Hamas: More PA officers should carry out attacks
"Shnayim Shnayim Baoo El Noach"; "2 of each specie came to Noach" There is a Midrash Pliah that says "Shnayim Shnayim Baoo El Noach"- from here we see the days which we recite the complete Hallel". What is the pshat in this Midrash?
The Meforshim answer, the days in which we recite whole Hallel in the Diaspora are
1) The first 2 days of Pesach
2) 2 days Shavuos
3) 9 days Sukkos
4) 8 days Chanukah
This is the pshat in the Midrash.
Shnayim - The first 2 days of Pesach
Shnayim - 2 days Shavuos
Baoo - has the numerical value of 9 - 9 days Sukkos
El Noach - has a numerical value of 89 which is the same numerical value as Chanukah.

What's in a name?
Only in Israel! Israeli Cop Helps a Man Bench Lulav on the Highway
תופעה: הסגולה לזיווג של רבי יעקב אדלשטיין
The pasuk (2:20) tells us that Adam gave names to all the creatures. Chazal tell us that this was a great Chochma on his part. Rav Yehonoson Eibushitz asks, why was this such a great accomplishment?
He answers that for each animal, Adam linked, with his deep insight, each animal's characteristics to its parallel in the heavenly court. Just like there is an "Ari" and "Shor" in the Merkava, he was able to spot the traits of a lion and ox and understand the connection.
However when it came to his own name, he did not link it to something heavenly. He called himself Adam as in Adama, the lowly earth. This showed Adam's great modesty. He wanted to remind himself of his lowly makeup and always remain humble.
However, says Rav Yehonoson Eibushitz, the name Adam is in fact a very exalted name. Adam is from the word, "Adameh L'Elyon", I am compared to the elevated. A person is created B'Tzelem Elokim and is compared to Hashem Himself, and not just the Merkava. Furthermore he adds, that the comparison to Adama, the earth, is also very distinguished. Just like the earth never disintegrates and remains forever, similarly a person's neshama, his Chelek Elokai MiMa'al is also Nitzchi, eternal.

Vesamachta Bechayecha
Mistaking the cause of Middle East turmoil
Traveling on a bus from Yerushalayim to Petach Tikva during Chol Hamoed, I was captivated by two children chattering incessantly and keeping their father quite occupied during the length of the trip. I surmised that the young boys were about three and four years old. After a while they began to sing a holiday song of "Vesamachta Bechagecha' to be joyous during the Sukkot holiday. However, either the boys messed up one of the words or I didn't hear them properly because I thought they were singing, "Vesamachta Bechayecha' - Be happy with your life. I thanked Hashem for sending me the message I needed to hear. - Out of the mouths of babes....
