two reasons for feeding the birds

B”H
To #8 both reasons are correct. The Rebbe mentions the birds singing in a sicha.

Great program

If I’m not mistaken, feeding the birds on Shabbos Shira is not related to the mon but rather to the miracle of the sprouting of trees with fruit at krias yam suf, children feeding the birds from the fruit and the birds singing along during the Shira.
Someone please comment if this is correct. Perhaps mon is also related?! Thank You.

I must say a huge thank you to Rabbi Simpson; these programs are amazing. I don’t have a son in this class, but even my son’s class; they do so much, so creative, so exciting; he’s always with a smile.

And my older son? don’t even ask. What these boys do is tremendous. Yesterday he was doing a special mission, some tzivos Hashem program, today he’s learning tanya, he’s always on the go while at yeshiva. I know you are behind everything that goes on; thank you, thank you, thank you.
