Three concepts in the divine unity of the number one.

The number is one stands on its own, can be added to all other numbers and their are no numbers with out it.

"Halachah Le'Moshe mi'Sinai" as the distillation of Torah She'be'al peh. In general the written Torah gives to the oral Torah  just as Yehonatan took of his princely armour and gave it to David. A concept that is compared to the masculine giving to the feminine. Most laws in the Torah are based on the verses they are learned out from. However, the concept of "Halacha le'Moshe Me'Sinai" represents the essence of the Oral Torah as it exists as a direct divine gift from above. These are the halachos that do not have a proof in the oral Torah. This is not because of a lack on their part, but because they are the Oral Torah as it expresses the essence on its own.

The idea is forgiveness for now, but the punishment is still in the wings and has not gone away. Even if there is punishment for now, to affect the forgiveness, it is not over. Just as by the golden calf it states וביום פוקדי ופקדתי , “on the day I remember (to punish you for a sin) I remember (to pu...

Reasoning behind אותו ואת בנו

ב''ה The reason that an אונן who lost their mother or father is not obligated in מצות until they are buried is that the child has a little of the the soul of their parents in them. When the parent dies a part of the child also dies. When a person is dead, they are free from מצות, 'במתים חפשי'. Similarly, when an animal loses its parent it is part dead, treifa, therefore it is forbidden to slaughter it the same day as its mother. It would not be a kosher Shechita. From תפארת יונתן פ' אמור
