Have we paid too high a price for the release of our hostages or is no price too high?
In some areas we are expected to master and overcome our natural urges. But there are areas, the areas of basic human character, where virtue is innate – we simply need to nurture and develop it.

We need to be mindful not only of what we say but also of what our words imply, even if not said
The synthesis of empathy and grace applies to Hashem uniquely
How much we remember or whether we remember at all, depends on the responsibility we have to remember and the degree to which we are intentional about remembering

As in the case of Nedarim, in Shevuot the precise meaning of the language used is critically important. Nevertheless, Abaye teaches us, context can provide a very different interpretation of an individual’s intention
The stakes in Halacha are high. The consequences of committing an aveira (wrongdoing), even in error, are serious. However, Halacha magnificently builds mechanisms to avoid people developing OCD over the fear of possibly having committed an aveira.
