Lessons From the Parsha…
By: HaRav Raphael Schellemberg
פרשת פרה
The פסוקsays: '' ''זאת התורה אדם כי ימות באהלwhich means “this is the ( תורהhalachos) of a man who dies
in a tent.” חז''לlearn from this פסוקthat in order to acquire תורהone has to be ממית עצמו עליהםwhich literally
means that to acquire תורהone has to kill himself over it.
The Chofetz Chaim asks: “We know that תורהis the source of life. So what do חז''לmean when they say
“in order to acquire תורהone has to kill themselves over it?”
The Chofetz Chaim answers with a mashal. There was a wealthy man who was so busy running his
business that he didn’t have any time to learn and hardly had any time to daven as well. As he got older, he
realized that the day will come when he will have to explain this to הקב''ה. The next day, he stayed after davening
and learned for a few hours instead of going into his business. When he got home, his wife asked him: “Where
were you? The customers were waiting.” He said that he was busy, to which his wife replied “Okay, it happens
sometimes.” But after a few days of this going on, his wife demanded an explanation for what was going on. He
asked her: “What would you have done if I had died today? What would you tell the customers then? Baruch
Hashem I am still alive and I am only “dead” for two hours a day when I am learning.”
The Chofetz Chaim explained that this is what חז''לmeant. A person has to make himself “dead” in regards
to all other matters when it comes to learning and then indeed one will acquire תורהwhich is the source of life.
We all can learn from here that no matter how exciting our day was or will be or no matter what is on our
minds we can make ourselves “dead” when it comes to learning and ignore everything else to clear our minds to be
able to learn.
