Decrease in Torah Study

Rebbe Responsa | June 27, 2025

By the Grace of G-d
25th of Adar, 5727
Brooklyn, N.Y.

P.S. You are, of course, quite right in believing that your husband's personal Shiurim, as well as public activity in spreading the fountains of Chassidus and of Yiddishkeit, have a priority, both in person and in time. Moreover, when the Parnosso situation is not the same as it was, and the Yetzer Hora tries to confuse a person and beguile him so that he should reduce his time devoted to Torah and Mitzvoth—it is necessary to tell the Yetzer Hora in no uncertain terms that he is indeed a "fool"; for, obviously, when an additional Divine blessing is needed, it is necessary to add and increase the vessels for such Divine blessing and the channels to receive it, and not vice versa, G-d forbid. This is quite obvious.
