Reply To: YWN Coffee Room Nightly D’Var Torah

Via email from JayMatt19

It is 12:30 am here in Yerushalayim. I have typed up a dvar torah only

to find out I cannot access the CR. I do not know if the problem is on

my end or the CR’s end, but in case you are able to get on the site,

please post the following dvar torah from me

This was seen in the Gevuras Yitzchak on Avos

?? ??? ???? ?? ????: ?? ???? ????, ??? ???? ????, ???? ??? ????,

The Mishna concludes that this will be “Ashrecha” in this world” and

Good for us in the next.

What is the Ashrecha in this world? After all he is sleeping on the floor.

Rashi says that if a person is at the point where he has nothing to

sleep on he should still not give up his Torah, as he will come to

learn it in (a state) of affluence (since he committed himself to

learning it during poverty). We can now say this is the definition of

“Ashrecha” in this world since he will bring him to a pont where he is

able to learn it as a rich man.

The Ruach Chaim says that if a person truly accepts Ol Torah (lit. the

yolk of Torah) and says “Whatever you do to me I’ll continue to be

immersed in Torah” certainly Hashem will not forsake him, and he will

eventually receive kavod. This is the meaning of the mishna, if you

accept upon yourself the torah in a state of ?? ???? ???? you’ll be

rewarded in this world as well. This is the Ashrecha B’Olam Haze.
