1.   The period between Purim and Pesach as two aspects of liberation: freedom while still in exile and the preparation for complete redemption. Galus causes discord. This must be overcome, so we gather again to strengthen our unity. *** The sin offering sacrificed by Moshe on the last day of initiation bestowed the power of forgiveness on the altar. When we attain full forgiveness Mashiach will come. *** One must always serve G‑d out of love; then the different categories of Jews will be united. The level of love will depend on knowledge of Chassidic philosophy. Everyone must study Chassidus; through that they will love G‑d.

2.   When a bar-mitzvah boy enters the “yoke” of Torah and mitzvos he brings blessings upon himself. This will be the first Pesach when these boys are “commanded to do”; they will have greater blessings. Give more tzedakah on the bar-mitzvah day.

3.   May all the wedding preparations be successful, to build a Jewish home on the basis of Torah and mitzvos. When the Jews reaffirmed their responsibility on Purim, they renewed the Shidduch between the Holy One, Blessed be He, and the Congregation of Israel. It is a good custom to increase tzedakah on the wedding day.
