		Since the mitzva is to hear the shofar, the Rambam formulates the blessing as, "lishmo'a kol shofar" (to hear the shofar sound), and not "litko'a ba-shofar" (to blow the shofar).
		Since the mitzva is merely experiencing the sound (parallel to experiencing the light), a minor should be allowed to blow while others hear and thereby fulfill their mitzva.
		If, however, we claim that the mitzva entails the act of blowing, we might better understand the need for the person blowing to blow with some consciousness of what he is doing, as well as intention to include others (who are also obligated to blow) within his blowing.

	YSMZ: weekly parsha
		To this, Rabbi Yishmael responded that there are two aspects to the mitzva of Torah study: (1) acquiring the knowledge of the Torah and (2) an independent mitzva of studying the Torah, incumbent day and night, irrespective of any level of mastery obtained.
		One, it could be a mitzva " זכר למקדש " – a remembrance of the marror that was eaten together with the Korban Pesach (as required by the verse " על מצות ומרורים יאכלוהו " – you shall eat it [the Korban Pesach] with matzot and marror (Shemot 12:8).
		However, women are obligated in the mitzva of sippur yetzi'at Mitzrayim (Sukka 38a, Tosafot entitled mi she'haya) and therefore women would be obligated in the mitzva of marror if it is a means to fulfill the mitzva of sippur yetzi'at Mitzrayim even according to R' Shimon.

	The Mitzva Of Guarding The Matzo
		He concludes that this indeed is the case (that only the guarding need be performed for the sake of the mitzva): it is sufficient that a non-Jew do the actual harvesting or grinding (with the supervision of a Jew).
		Nevertheless, with regard to the matzos used for the mitzva, one should see to it as far as possible that children not be involved.
		Even though the supervision and making of the matzos for the mitzva could be performed by others, nevertheless according to the principle that it is preferable to perform a mitzva oneself than through an agent, Shulchon Oruch states that one should strive to be involved personally in producing the matzo shmuro.

		Ultimately, a lulav gazul (stolen lulav) is disqualified based upon the issue of mitzva ha-ba'a ba-aveira (a mitzva arising from a transgression), which clearly spans the entire yom tov.
		When describing the basic mitzva, the Torah employs the term "lekicha," taking, while it presents the concept of simcha (joy) when describing the extended mitzva of the Mikdash.
		According to the Rambam, the seven-day requirement in the Mikdash is really a mitzva to create joy; the four species are merely the media to generate this experience.

		Because the Rambam says that the reason given for a mitzva should not be counted as one of the mitzvas -the reason for the mitzva is not itself a separate mitzva.
		Now although in the physical we can’t carry out the mitzva of erasing the memory of Amalek, because we are not in a position to do it, since it is only a mitzva on the king and we don't know who Amalek is, however in the spiritual, this mitzva applies today as much as ever.
		And also in the spiritual, the mitzva applies to women as well as men even though in the physical, women are not obligated to go out to war to erase the memory of Amalek, in the spiritual war, they are obligated as men are.

	Winter JEN- Bar and Bat Mitzva Trips to Israel
		Although they had not planned to have a bat mitzva ceremony for their daughter in Israel, the decision to take the trip was linked to Aliza’s recent bat mitzva.
		While their child’s bar or bat mitzva was ostensibly the reason these families had decided to travel to Israel at this time, the ceremony was only one of many high points where they linked their own story to the grand sweep of Jewish tradition.
		Bar/bat mitzva has maintained its appeal in the complex of American Jewish life largely because it is a singular ritual whose focus has shifted from a process of becoming part of the larger adult Jewish community to a celebration of achievement of a personal milestone.

		This clearly implies that shaking the lulav is an essential aspect of the mitzva; the dimensions for fulfilling the mitzva of lulav are determined based on the ability to shake it properly.
		The mitzva of Hallel is certainly more frequent than lulav, but the mishnayot in Zevachim on the subject of precedence rule that frequency is only preferred when the two mitzvot in conflict are of equal importance.
		Hallel is a rabbinic mitzva (according to the Rambam; the Behag disagrees).

	Barmitzva for LIFE!!!
		Similarly, at the age of 12 a Jewish female becomes Bat Mitzva, "daughter of the Mitzva", meaning she is subject to all the laws of the Torah as they apply to women.
		Calling the new Bar Mitzva to read from the Torah on or as soon as possible after the day of the Bar Mitzva is thus a public sign of his entry into the community as an adult male.
		It is a mitzva for the father to make a festive meal for dear ones and friends on the day his son reaches the age of Barmitzva.

		There were two distinct worlds, as it says, the heavens are for G-d and the earth He gave to the children of man. So the ruchnius and the gashmius, the spiritual and the physical, could not meet and interchange; one could not become the other.
		That means that the mitzva was not expressing the essence of G-d, because G-d’s essence is not limited to being high or low - He is both or neither.
		So now, when we are doing mitzvas that do permeate into the physical, that means that there is a G-dliness being expressed, being revealed in the mitzva that transcends the notion of high and low, and is therefore not limited to being high.

		Logically then, the mitzva of chinuch would not apply to mitzvos which one would not be required to observe when one came of age.
		Since there is also a mitzva to take the arba minim zecher LaMikdash on the first day, one may let his child use a lulav and esrog, even if he does not give it to him as a gift.
		Since it is a condition of the mitzva, and not of the actual esrog, we do not compare the mitzva of the Temple to the mitzva of the first day.

	More on Mitzva Shopping - By Raphael Grunfeld
		Whether the rule of Ein maavirim al hamitzvot (do not offend a Mitzva by postponing it) means that one should perform a Mitzva Derabanan (of Rabbinic origin) before a Mitzva Deoreita (of Biblical origin) just because the Mitzva Derabanan first came one’s way, is a matter of dispute.
		Accordingly, it is clear that the origin of the Mitzva, whether Derabanan or Deoreita is not a factor to be considered in deciding which Mitzva to perform first.
		Nevertheless, if a person was confronted with the Mitzva of taking care of the dead prior to the fourteenth, he was obliged to do so, even though he would render himself Tamei (contact with death or aborted life) and unfit to offer the Korban Pesach on the fourteenth.

		On the first day (in the gevulin), the mitzva is a formal one of performing a specific act; however, the seven-day, mikdash-centered obligation is to rejoice before the Lord by means of taking the lulav.
		From this it can be concluded that the mitzva of lulav is a single mitzva that consists of two intertwining obligations: the requirement to perform the act of taking a lulav, and the aspect of rejoicing.
		The obligation to shake the lulav falls within the rejoicing aspect of the mitzva, which essentially applies only in the mikdash, although rabbinically it has been extended to the gevulin as well.

		Stealing a bike is a mitzva, because you remind the (former) owner of the bike, that nothing stays forever on this earth and that we all will vanish one day.
		It is even one of the higher stages of tzedaka (the second highest!), because the donater does not know the person who receives his donation and neither does the person who receives the bike know who gave it to him.

	Emissaries of Mitzvah are not Harmed
		The inherent act is pure from harm, as it is in fact a vehicle for man to raise himself to higher levels of perfection.
		We now see two distinct issues: 1) The command itself, that which is truly perfect and has no negative aspect, 2) Phenomena which are external to the act of performing commandments, phenomena which follow natural laws, and affect people whether they are doing mitzvos or not.
		To clarify the point, if both the performer of a mitzva and one standing idly by are together at the mouth of a volcano, they will most definitely be scorched equally.

	This Mitzva: Teshuva
		The vague, general expression, "this mitzva," certainly points in the direction of the first approach (a.), that it refers to the whole of Torah and Mitzvot.
		Many (including Rashi and the Midrash) explain that that mitzva is Talmud Torah, learning Torah, and bring evidence to support their case.
		Perhaps "this mitzva" refers to teshuva, and our section's message about teshuva is that returning to Torah (= teshuva) is not as difficult as originally receiving the Torah.

	Sukkot on Virtual Jerusalem
		Rashba is claiming that even though a sukka not made specifically for the mitzva is sufficient according to Beit Hillel, nevertheless the special sanctity which pertains to a sukka exists only for a sukka that was made for the specific purpose of the mitzva.
		Beit Hillel consider the building of a sukka for the sake of the mitzva as an actual act of mitzva, and according to the Rashba, this action is what imbibes the sukka with its holiness.
		In his opinion, the mitzva is an attempt to re-enact the supernatural sukkot - the clouds of glory.

		When speaking of the mitzva of Hakhael, the Chinuch writes that given this centrality, it is only appropriate to read the Torah publicly, in a festive manner, in order to stress the importance and significance that the Torah represents for us.
		Both the mitzva of Hakhael and the mitzva of writing a sefer torah are focused on deepening the commitment that we have to Torah and mitzvot, yet the difference in the setting is crucial.
		When describing the mitzva of Hakhael, the Torah (Devarim 31:12-13) seems to be very specific in explaining why we are commanded to perform this mitzva.

	Is There a Mitzva to Rejoice on Rosh Hashana?
		This authority must believe that there is no Mitzva to rejoice on Rosh Hashana, because part of the Mitzva of rejoicing on a Yom Tov is eating meat and drinking wine (see Pesachim 109a).
		The Shulchan Aruch clearly adopts the approach that there is a Mitzva to rejoice on Rosh Hashana and thus one should not fast on Rosh Hashana.
		It seems that the dispute is not a broad one but a matter of emphasis, namely, to what extent is the Simchat Yom Tov muted on Rosh Hashana, for example, that we might tolerate or even encourage fasting on Rosh Hashana or describe the day as a time of joy.
