To Learn Torah is the Most Interesting Thing

THE DAILY CHIZZUK OF MOREINU HARAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT”A – SUNDAY, 1 TAMMUZ 5784

Hagar was the daughter of Pharaoh and Pharaoh was the son of Nimrod.  [We learn] from here that Hagar was the granddaughter of Nimrod.

SO AVRAHAM MARRIED THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF NIMROD.  IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND THIS.  I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS.  YOU DIDN’T FIND A BETTER MATCH?

You should have taken a match from Shuvu Banim, from Rav [Shmuel] Stern, from Rav Shalom Arush.  Why did Avraham take a granddaughter of Nimrod for a match?

I don’t know.  I won’t interfere with him, but you need to know that you have to know the weekly Parashah.

IS IT HARD [FOR YOU] TO LEARN GEMARA?  THEN LEARN THE WEEKLY PARASHAH, SAY TEHILIM.  FINISH THE BOOK OF TEHILIM EVERY DAY WITH THE COMMENTARIES, TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAY.  THESE ARE THE MOST INTERESTING THINGS.

To understand the Parashah is more interesting than wandering around in the street.  There are so many kushiyot [difficulties/questions], so many answers.  On every word of the Torah there are a million kushiyot. These are all the words of Hashem; on every word, there are a million kushuyiot.

Give the young men of the yeshiva a shiur every day for a half-hour.
