Hayom Yom 18 Adar 1 - Blessing after wine and the seven fruits

בִּבְרָכָה מֵעֵין שָׁלֹשׁ

When reciting the threefold blessing

אִם שָׁתָה יַיִן וְאָכַל פֵּרוֹת מִז' הַמִּינִים

after drinking wine and partaking of any of the seven fruits [with which Eretz Yisrael was blessed],

חוֹתֵם: וְעַל פְּרִי הַגֶּפֶן וְעַל הַפֵּרוֹת

one should conclude: …ve’al pri hagefen ve’al hapeiros.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' עַל פְּרִי הַגֶּפֶן וְהַפֵּרוֹת (וְלֹא “וְעַל" הַפֵּרוֹת)

Baruch Atah Ado-nai, [al haaretz ve]al pri hagefen vehapeiros (rather than ve’al hapeiros).

Hayom Yom 18 Adar 2 - Torah with Rashi daily and a Tractate Talmud a year

אַאַזְמוּ"ר כּוֹתֵב בְּאֶחָד מִמַּאֲמָרָיו

My revered grandfather, the Rebbe [Maharash], writes in one of his maamarim:

צְרִיכִים לִלְמוֹד בְּכָל יוֹם תּוֹרָה שֶׁבִּכְתָב עִם פֵּרוּשׁ רַשִׁ"י

Every day, one should study the Written Law with the commentary of Rashi,

שֶׁזֶּהוּ תְּרוּמוֹת מִדְרְשֵׁי רַזַ"ל

because it contains the choicest parts of our Sages’ exegesis [on the Torah]….

וּלְכָל הַפָּחוֹת צָרִיךְ כָּל אֶחָד לִלְמוֹד מַסֶּכֶת גְּמָרָא בְּשָׁנָה

Everyone should also study at least one Talmudic tractate every year.
