Shalom and welcome back, dear listeners. “Make your study of Torah a fixed habit. Do not seek material comfort from it, nor let it be an axe with which to chop.” These words, these powerful words of Ben Zoma, resonate deeply in our modern world. We often chase titles, degrees, recognition – seeking worldly gain from spiritual pursuits. Yet, true fulfillment, true connection to the divine, lies in the act of learning itself. Let Torah be not a tool for advancement but a wellspring of wisdom, a source of endless inspiration. Embrace the journey, not just the destination.
