Only Learning Gemara Saves a Person

DAILY CHIZZUK BY OUR REBBE RAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT”A IN WHICH THE RAV SPEAKS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING GEMARA.

Thursday, 21 Adar Bet 5782

These are his holy words:

A person needs to know that the moment that he returns in teshuva (repentance)  -- the first thing is that he needs to learn Gemara.

It’s not enough that he keeps Shabbat, tomorrow… now he is enthusiastic, receives a soul from the world of Atzilut (Emanation – the highest of the four supernal worlds), sees Hashem face-to-face, Hashem reveals Himself to him, he sees Moshe Rabbeinu…

But not every day does Moshe Rabbeinu reveal himself to him – tomorrow he already sees the… of Moshe Rabbeinu.

Suddenly, he sees that Moshe Rabbeinu is no more.  Suddenly, Moshe Rabbeinu is hidden from him.

Then he learns Gemara.  Then the Gemara sustains him – only the Gemara.

There is Daf Yomi.  There is Tractate Chagiga, there is Tractate Megila.
