Are the Greeks Behind Your Glasses? Chof Hei Kislev 5772

Although dreidels are no longer needed to mask the act of Torah study from the eyes of Greek soldiers, their historical use bears a similar message to contemporary Yidden. The challenges of making Torah study central to one's life are still applicable, albeit their origin has now shifted from an outside source to one's personal self.

See how each of the letters featured on the driedel can be seen as a window into improving one's consistency and efficiency in the realm of studying Torah by clicking here.

שבח לומדי תורה כ"ח חשון תשע"ב


יגדיל תורה שמח לבשר ע''ד עלון חדש שיוצא לאור אודות השבח והמעלה של לומדי תורה.

העלון הוא ליקוט של כמה קטעים ממאמרי חז''ל ודברי רבותינו נשאינו אודות המעלות הייחודיות שהאדם מקבל על ידי לימוד התורה. כמבואר בחסידות התורה היא מיוחדת בזה שהיא נכנסת לפנימיותו של האדם הלומדה והיא פועלת עליו הרבה.

מטרת העלון הוא לעורר יותר חיות והתלהבות בלימוד התורה בידעו כחה העצומה איך שפועלת עליו.

"Happy is he who arrives here with his knowledge in hand"
Lamed Tishrei 5772

For whatever the Neshama can comprehend and perceive in the knowledge of Torah, consummates its perfection. It cannot reach consummate perfection in the "Bond of Life - Hashem" in the Source from which it was hewn, without this knowledge. Therefore our Chachamim declared "happy is he who arrives here (to Gan Eden in the spiritual realms) with his knowledge in hand" so that he will not have to reincarnate and (descend) again to this (material) world.
