“Hashem spoke to Moshe and to Aharon,
saying: This is the decree of the Torah, which
Hashem has commanded, saying: Speak to the
Children of Israel, and they shall take to you a
completely red cow, which is without blemish,
and upon which a yoke has not come”

(Bamidbar 19:1-2)
The mitzvah of Torah study is a chok. We are enjoined to learn the details
of even those mitzvot which do not apply today. We do this because it is
the command of Hashem. Study brings to action. When a person learns
those sections regarding the Beit Hamikdash, feelings of yearning will be
stirred up within him, and he will do his utmost to hasten its rebuilding.

The words “If a man will die in a tent” are explained to mean that one
should be prepared to “kill himself” in the tent of Torah. This indicates
the strong love between Am Yisrael and Hashem.
The Yetzer Hara consumes a person like a deadly disease. Its antidote is
Torah.
Yitro was called Chovev ( ) , for he cherished ( ) the Torah. He
was also called Reuel ( ) because he was a friend ( ) of Hashem
( ). Avraham publicized Hashem’s Name in the world by constantly
stating, “There is none other than Him.” In this manner, he brought people
to an awareness of their Creator. A person is capable of reaching the level
of believing “there is none other than Him” by considering himself
nothing compared to the greatness of Hashem. This awareness can arouse
a person to fulfill all of the mitzvot, even the chok of Torah study, with
unconditional love. # 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Bamidbar-EYAL | 12 - A | 18-08-19 | 13:48:25 | SR:-- | Black 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS
