Building a House for Torah

Ba'er Heitev | December 08, 2025

בראשית g In the beginnin
The Torah starts with a large “Beis”, says the Chiddushei Harim ZYA, “One must build a house for himself a house in his heart for Torah. This is the first thing that every Yid must do.”

The Kotzker ZY”A, said on the verse which we say in Kedusha, during Mussaf on Shabbos and Yom Tov; Ayei Mekom Kevodo – Where is the place of His glory? To which he expounded, “Viy mehn luzt Ehm nor Arein – wherever He is allowed entry.”
If a person “allows the participation” he partners Hashem in all of his doings, whether Ruchniyus or Gashmius (spiritual or mundane), then Hashem will be a “partner” in all his endeavors.
Such was the Minhog (custom) of Poilisher Chassidim, to make their Rebbe a partner in their business, and so it would flourish.
