In the expression “a home filled with Torah texts,” we should underscore the word “filled”; the true meaning of “filled” means that it cannot contain anything else –there is simply no room for more. Otherwise, it cannot truly be “full.” As far as we are concerned, as long as there exists in the world, a Torah text which bears relevance to us but has not yet reached our hands, then we cannot consider ourselves as owing “a home filed with Torah texts” in the true sense of the word.

Since “we tell one who began a Mitzvah to complete it,” we should continue in this activity until it is truly and fully completed. (Parshas Vayigash 5751; a CALL to ACTION)
