We must take the time to recognize Hashem's gifts of life and love and thank Him for them. Rav Yeruchom Levovitz encourages us to compose our own book of psalms, our gratitude journal filled with thank-you notes to G-d for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us. This is a way to show appreciation and express our value for those gifts. Writing do…

This Dvar Torah on the Parsha explains why the second set of Luchos endured eternally while the first did not. The secret behind this success lies in the concept of tzniyus, or privacy.
