BECHUKOTAI
Don’t Just Learn – Sweat!
Health requires hard work. A healthy person is one who puts in effort, breaks a sweat at the gym, and exerts his body, beyond what is comfortable. In contrast, a person who lives the couch-potato easy life, is more prone to injury, and just general debilitation.
In much the same manner, spiritual health also depends on toiling in Torah Parshat Bechukotai promises God’s immense blessings specifically to those who toil in Torah—not just those who study regularly, although that too is significant. The extraordinary blessings are promised to those who push their limits and study Torah with effort, beyond their comfort zone.
