Without The Ohr Hachaim How Can You Be A Jew

Rav Yaakov Yosef of Skver used to say that every word of the Ohr HaChaim is like a whole Torah in and of itself. He even said, “One cannot be a full-fledged Jew without studying this holy sefer!”

If ever a bochur suffered a downturn in his Yiras Shomayim, the Rebbe ordered him to study the Ohr HaChaim even on non-mussar topics, because he said that studying his holy words was a segula to work on the soul.
