Just one week after reading the account of the majestic and magnificent revelation at Har Sinai, we read today Parshas Mishpatim.

As we lead up to the parsha of matan Torah there couldn’t be a greater contrast between the end of last week’s sedra and the beginning of this week’s.

Tu B’Shvat is the ‘New Year for trees’ (Rosh Hashanah, 2a). What does this mean?

It is the custom, on the Shabbos preceding Rosh Chodesh, to recite a special tefilla, based on that which Rav was wont to conclude his shemoneh esrei.1
