Torah Wellsprings | June 27, 2025

Sometimes people feel they need every minute of their day to earn money and don’t have time for Torah study. We remind them of the Gemara (Avodah Zarah 19), which says, “Whoever studies Torah, Hakadosh Baruch Hu fulfills his desires....Whoever studies Torah, his assets prosper.” Torah study is mesugal for wealth and success. Setting time for Torah won't lessen the parnassah.

A chassid once wrote a kvittel to Rebbe Yochanan of Rachmastrivka zy’a stating that he wants a brachah for hatzlachah in everything he does.”

Rebbe Yochanan Rachmastrivka told him, “Dovid HaMelech was also a great Rebbe. His counsel for hatzlachah was to study Torah. As it states (Tehillim 1), בתורת אם כי יצליח יעשה אשר וכל ...חפצו 'ה, ‘His desire is solely Hashem's Torah...whatever he does prospers.’ This isn’t solely a brachah; it's a guarantee. If you study Torah, you will succeed in everything you do.”
