A famous Admor once remarked that the names of Rabbi Yehonasan Eibschutz’s two famous sefarim Urim V’tumim and Yaaros Dvash must have been switched, as Yaaros Dvash is truly the ‘urim v’tumim’ offering spiritual guidance and mussar to every Jew; and Urim V’tumim encompasses chiddushim that are sweeter than forests replete with honey!
