Why is Rashbi singled out as the person in whose merit the world was
worthy of being created?
Why didn’t Hashem miraculously preserve Rashbi’s clothes in the cave,
like He did for Bnei Yisrael in the wilderness?
Rashbi was afraid that any kindness he received above his most basic
needs would detract from his reward in the World to Come. Therefore, he
settled on the barest minimum, to the extent that he was prepared to suffer
in this world. Similarly, Yaakov was afraid to confront Eisav, fearing that
he did not possess enough merits to be saved and his reward reserved for
the World to Come would be depleted.
Rashbi requested to study Torah in privation in order to increase his merits
