Explanation of Rambam (in the preface to Sefer HaYad) “All the Mitzvot given . . were all given together with their explanations, as it states, "And I will give you the tablets of stone and the Mitzvah etc." Seemingly, in Torat Kohanim, this is derived from another verse

The claim, “Shall the Judge of all the earth not do justice?” in connection with the Holocaust etc.; It is a clear proof from the Holocaust that it is impossible, without Torah, to rely on the moral philosophy and feelings of man.

Claims regarding the “Holocaust”

The question of a why bad things happen to good people (צדיק ורע לו) answered according to faith in the Resurrection of the Dead (בתחיית המתים)

Utilizing one’s powers to facilitate G-d’s mission

The mission of spreading Judaism, in one’s area and surroundings is incumbent upon everyone

In all places of doubt – whoever increases in the aspects of the fear of Heaven is praiseworthy

It is impossible that one who is engaged in the education of Jewish children, should feel alone

Non-kosher intermediaries should not be utilized for the purpose of a Mitzvah. For it is a “Mitzvah that comes through sin”. However, one who foregoes his personal comfort to influence another, is better than personal study.

All merit bears fruit

Instead of thinking about oneself, one must think of the other; manners of contemplation in prayer; one who acts with another helps regarding himself
