Let's Bring Him Back To Life

This shabbos is the yahrtzeit of Rav Yisrael Slanter. His yahrtzeit usually falls out during the week of parshas mishpatim. At the end of the parsha we read of the korbanos that were brought and half of the blood was sprinkled on the mizbeach and half sprinkled on the Jews. This symbolizes the equality of bein adam lamakom [mizbeach] and bein adam lachaveiro [the Jews]. Reb Yisrael dedicated his life to teaching the Jews that bein adam lachaveiro is not one iota less important than bein adam lamakom.

[Maran HaRav Hutner]

I think his lessons are often forgotten. On his yahrtzeit - let's bring him back to life.
