Being Happy and Appreciating Your Torah and Mitzvos Will Save You on Yom HaDin

Somebody asked me: “What's the Chiddush? Chazal say: תּוֹרָה מַגְנָא וּמַצְלָא סוטה כאא Learning Torah itself brings Refua and Yeshua. And: חָשׁ בְּראשׁוֹ יַעַסוֹק בַּתּוֹרָה עירובין נד א If your head hurts and you want to get better, go learn Torah! I told him that this is not necessarily true. The generation before Churban Bayis Sheni were Osek in Torah and Gemilus Chasadim, yet they had a terrible Churban. Chazal say they were guilty of: שֶׁלֹא בֵּרְכוּ בַּתּוֹרָה תְחִלָּה נדרים פא א they did not say a Bracha before learning Torah, and the Ran says that this means that they weren't Machshiv their own Torah, so the long hours and Hasmada Raba of years of Amal HaTorah did nothing for them!
