Reply To: Dvar Torah Terumah — Of Beams and Belief

There is an argument between the litvacks and chasidim. The litvish interpret עת לעשות לה’ הפרו תורתך when the Torah is weakened, it is a time to accomodate in order to protect it that more should no be let go. Whereas the chasidim interpret the reverse ‘הפרו תרתך עת לעשות לה be strong and steadfast and don’t budge as the cedar above when the Torah is being weakened and don’t let go an inch.
