Quote:
The Torah states, "And in the heart of each person who had a wise heart I have given wisdom" (Exodus 31:6). Why does the Torah make having a wise heart a prerequisite for the Almighty granting wisdom?

Rabbi Chaim Shmuelevitz, former Rosh Hayeshiva of the Mir Yeshiva, teaches that from here we see that a person needs wisdom to merit acquiring wisdom. What is this wisdom? It is the heartfelt desire for more wisdom!

We can have a picture of what this desire is from the desire of Haman (in the Purim story) for honor. He was second to the king in power and the entire population of 127 countries bowed to him. Nevertheless, when Mordechai refused to bow down to him, he said that all his honor was as nothing since he was missing one person's honor. So, too, a person who has a deep love of wisdom feels a strong lack for any wisdom he is missing. When you have this love for wisdom, the Almighty will give you greater wisdom!


enjoy and have a great, enjoyable, relaxing shabbos!!!

when ever we wanted something my father always used to say "you cant always get what you want". when I grew up I realized he was quoting a song and the rest of it goes "but if u try real hard you get what you need" good advice!
does anyone have a good (short) d'var torah for this week?

" You never regret doing something good"

and for the Dvar Torah Part:
Tishrei is a time for us to work on ourselves and move closer to Hashem. That is why we spell Tishrei in Hebrew- Tof, Shin, Reish- from last letter of the Aleph Beis, moving upwards, striving....

Renewing an old thread...

My father's favorite word: Hischadshus! Mit a frishkeit!

Every day is a new opportunity to serve our Creator - let's not waste it!

In the evening he would say: If today wasn't good, tomorrow will be! Nisht oifgeben!

And in the morning: Ah, another day! How much we can accomplish... we have to 'chap arein'!

Just thinking about it, and really thinking into these words, is enough to give me a little push for the day...
