HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau delivered a shiur and divrei chizzuk at the Or Elchanan Yeshiva in Jerusalem on Tuesday evening .
HaRav Landau said, “With the permission of the Roshei Yeshiva, I wish to say a few words on inyanei d’yoma (current matters)—matters that are well known, but even what is well known must sometimes be said.”
“We all know that limmud Torah is the most important thing in the world. Nothing takes precedence over Talmud Torah, as the Mishnah says, ‘Talmud Torah k’neged kulam.’ But our duty is to live by this truth—to truly understand that there is nothing as exalted as limmud Torah, that it is the most important matter from every perspective.”
“We must take advantage of every moment, especially in the days of youth, to dedicate ourselves to Torah study and invest all our energy in learning and delving into Torah—not superficially—but with full immersion in understanding the Torah. This is the only way we can be zocheh to an elevated and joyous life, a life of true contentment. One who genuinely lives a life of Torah lacks nothing at all in this world.”
After the shiur, HaRav Landau joined the yeshiva’s Roshei Yeshivos and hundreds of talmidim in a lively dance, singing “Utzu Eitzah VeSufar.”

How right he is. All these people who are not satisfied at home always running for no reason to travel. Everywhere they go be it Mexico,Latin countries all the people there wish they can be here in America. People running to restaurants everytime a new one opens up. As if a new food was discovered. Look into the back kitchen and watch the way they wipe their faces and then touch your food. If food fell on the floor don’t worry. They pick it up and put it back on your plate. And the people eat with music playing in n the background with food that may be spoiled already but decorated and covered with sweetened sauces to make it taste good until your stomachs turns a few hours later.
So you’ll be OK without government assistance. Hakodosh Boruch Hu will provide. Or you’ll live on pas bemelach and mayim bim’suro.
The song is a Chabad song.
