Ki Tisa-Reb Zusha-Mention Their Merit

The 11th of Adar is the Yahrtzeit of Rav Eliezer Lipman Weisblum, father of Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk and Reb Zusha of Annipoli. “When you take a census of the Children of Israel  – Tisa et rosh – according to their numbers – lifkuddeihem – every man shall give God an atonement for his soul when counting them, so that there will not be a plague among them on counting them (Exodus 30:12).” In order to elevate the heads of Israel, you must always mention the merit they have from fulfilling the commandments, lifkuddeihem. (Reb Meshulam Zusha of Hanipoli – Imrei Pinchas)
