Title
Summary Why can we not synchronise our Sedras with Eretz Yisroel sooner than we actually do? Why do we lein the Tochachoh before Shovuous and before Rosh Hashona - and why is there always a 1-week gap between leining it and Yom Tov itself? If I get called up for the Tochachoh, am I allowed to refuse the Aliyah? What is special about Yom Tov Sheni Shel Goliyois? Listen to an awesome Rabeinu Yonah as to how transgressing a Derabonon is in a certain way even more stringent that transgressing a DeOraysoh. A very interesting Ramban discusses what Shabbos would look like if there were no Issurei Derabonon.
