Parshath Bo
By Yitz Kolakowski

With the recent passing of HaRav Mordechai Gifter, ztk"l, it is
k'dai to discuss a vort of the Rosh Yeshivah.  Chazal teach that when
one says a dvar Torah in the name of the deceased, their lips move
in the kever.

In Parshas Bo, we read about the Korban Pesach, the Paschal Lamb.
The Parsha states that it is forbidden to add any foreign substance to
this offering, even water.  Just the same, notes Rav Gifter, it is
forbidden to add any foreign substance or thoughts to our Avodas
HaShem.  For our Torah and Avodah to be perfect, they must be
complete and without any other ingredients.

This is indeed a great yesod, which needs no further explaination.
