The Letters of Rabbi Akiva – “Otiot De’Rabbi Akiva” is a well known Midrash sharing the story of how God created the universe and all of life. At the beginning of Creation, the holy 22 letters of the Aleph Beit approach God, asking Him to create the world from it – that it should be the first letter of the entire Torah (and life itself!) The story shares how the letters approached God one at a time in reverse order, starting with Tav.
For those who want to become rabbis, they will have to learn the laws for koshering meat! One can find these laws – known as the laws of melichah in the second section of the Shulchan Aruch – Yoreh Deah in chapters 69-78. There’s really a lot of material to go through, especially when one learns (as one should) with the nosei keilim (the main commentaries i.e. the Shach, Taz and other authorities).
This short video includes the short story about the Chafetz Chaim’s wishes to come to the Land of Israel. Those who live here, should well value this blessing. For more information about the Chafetz Chaim, see the entry on the Wikipedia – Rabbi Yisrael Meir HaKohein Kagan (1839-1933).
