Hayom Yom 1 Tammuz - Self-sacrifice appropriate for Torah scholars

Season 3 Episode 219 Published 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

מְסִירוּת נֶפֶשׁ הָרְאוּיָה לִבְנֵי תּוֹרָה

The [extent of the] self-sacrifice appropriate for Torah scholars 

הוּא כִּדְרָשַׁת רַזַ"ל

is indicated by our Sages’ interpretation of the phrase, 

אָדָם כִּי יָמוּת בְּאֹהֶל

“If a man dies in a tent.”

לְהָמִית אֶת כָּל הַתַּעֲנוּגִים בְּעִנְיָנֵי עוֹלָם

The Sages taught that [if one seeks to dedicate himself to the tents of Torah,] he must kill [i.e., eradicate] the desire for all worldly pleasures.

כִּי אֲפִילוּ דְּבָרִים קַלֵּי הָעֶרֶךְ בְּתַעֲנוּגֵי עוֹלָם

For even insignificant worldly pleasures

מוֹנְעִים הֵמָּה מִלִּהְיוֹת מָסוּר וְנָתוּן בְּאָהֳלָהּ שֶׁל תּוֹרָה

prevent one from being utterly devoted to the tents of Torah study.
