From Where in the Torah Do We Derive the Prohibition of Arrogance?
by Rav Elchanan Samet
The Halakhot Gedolot and others who produced enumerations of the mitzvot did not include the command that appears in Parashat Ekev, "Beware lest you forget the Lord your God." It was included, however, by R. Moshe of Coucy, the author of the Sefer Mitzvot Gadol (Semag). In his introduction to his sefer, he explains that he did so based on a dream. In this shiur, we will examine how his interpretation fits into the peshat of the text.

Broadcast of Azkara
for Moreinu Harav Amital zt"l (11am EDT)
Sunday, the 27th of Tammuz marked the tenth anniversary of the passing of Moreinu veRabbeinu Harav Yehuda Amital zt"l.
On Shabbat Parashat Matot-Maseo, more than a hundred lessons were given in Israel and in the Diaspora by yeshiva alumni and talmidim of the rav. These lessons were kicked off by Rav Yuval Cherlow, in a zoom session on Friday 7/17 at 5pm (Israel time) on the subject: 'Not Everything is Halakha' - the Moral Teachings of our Teacher and Rabbi".
In light of the special situation, we held a memorial on Sunday, 27th of Tammuz (19.7), from 6pm to 7pm (Israel time) via live broadcast from a special studio set up for this event. Included will be a broadcast from the cemetery and the beit midrash, an open studio with the heads of the yeshiva, conversations with alumni about their relationship with Harav Amital and his influence on their lives, as well as a special film produced for the event describing Harav's philosophy.
The memorial was broadcast here on the website, and on the Yeshiva's YouTube channel. Here is the complete schedule...
