In this chapter I will discuss the encouragement
one must give to strengthen Torah לַע ):א"יק תוֹבֻּתְכּ( ל"ַזֲח וּרְמָאֶשּׁ הַמ ,ל ֹּכַל ַעוּדָי הֵנִּה
וֹדָיְבּ שֵׁיֶּשׁ יִמ לָכּ ,"ךֶָלַּט תרֹוֹא לַט" :)ט"י ו"כ הָיְעַשְׁי( קוּסָפַּה
Chazal’s explanation (in Gemara Ketubot 111b) of the pasuk יִמ לָכְו ,]םיִתֵמַּה תַיִּחְתִל[ וּהֵיַּחְמ הרָוֹתּ רוֹא ,הרָוֹתּ רוֹא
(Yeshaya 26:19) is well known to everyone: “Your dew is the
dew of light,” meaning, whoever possesses the light of Torah, םוֹקָמ לָכִּמוּ .וּהֵיַּחְמ הרָוֹתּ רוֹא ןיֵא ,הרָוֹתּ רוֹא וֹדָיְבּ ןיֵאֶשׁ
39
that light of Torah will give him life when the dead will be םַגּ ,הרָוֹתּ רוֹא םֶהָבּ ןיֵאֶשׁ ,ץרֶָאָה יֵמַּע וּלִּפֲאַדּ ,םָשׁ ןַניקְִסָמ
restored back to life and whomever does not possess the light
of Torah, in the absence of that light of Torah, he will not be ,םירִָבְדַּה רוּאֵבוּ .הרָוֹתַּה תקַָזְחַה תוּכְזִבּ הָיִּחְתִל וּדְמַעַי ןֵכּ
brought back to life when the dead get up. In any event, the
conclusion of the gemara is that even people who are not learned, וּנְיַה ,אָבַּה םָלוֹעָל קֶלֵח םֶהָל שֵׁי לֵארְָשִׂי לָכֶּשׁ ,ַעוּדָיְדּ ףַא
who don’t possess the light of Torah will also come back to life שׁיִא אוּהֶשׁ רוּבֲעַבּ ןדֵֶע ןַגְבּ ןֵדַּעְתִהְל תוּכְז הָּל שֵׁי שֶׁפֶנַּהֶשׁ
in the merit of their support of the Torah. In explanation of these
concepts, it is well known that every Jew has a share in Olam ,הָיִּחְתִל וֹמיקֲִהַל ,רָפָע רָבְכּ הָשֲׂעַנֶּשׁ ףוּגַּה לָבֲא .לֵארְָשִׂי
Haba, meaning that one’s Nefesh has the merit to take pleasure in ,וֹמְצַעְבּ דַמָלֶּשׁ הרָוֹתַּה רוֹא יִתְּלִבּ ,הָצֵע םוּשׁ תֶלֶעוֹמ ןיֵא
Gan Eden because he is Jewish. However, one’s physical body,
that is already turned into Earth cannot be returned back to life, ויָנָבּ ןַתָנֶּשְׁכּ ןֵכֶּשׁ לָכְו ,םירִֵחֲאַל וּלִּפֲא הרָוֹתּ קיִזֱחֶהֶשׁ וֹא
no advice will help to restore back to life their physical body, .הרָוֹתּ דֹמְלִל רֶפֵסַּה תיֵבְל
other than the light of Torah which he himself learned, or that he
supported others in their learning of Torah, and obviously if he םיִשָׁנ :).ז"י תוֹכרְָבּ( ארָָמְגַּה הרְָמָאְדּ יאַמ םיִצרְָתְמ הֶזָבוּ
educated his children in yeshivot where they learned Torah.
תַארָקְַהְבּ ?תוֹכוֹז הֶמַּבּ םיִשָׁנ( וּהְיַנְבּ יֵיוּרקְַאְבּ ?ןָיְכָז יאַמְבּ
With this (insight) one can answer the gemara’s question
(Gemara Berachot 17a): “By what virtue do women earn Olam יֵבִּמ וּתָאְדּ דַע ,ןֶהיֵלְעַבְל ןיִניִתְּמַמֶּשׁ הֶמַּבּ וֹא ,)ןֶהיֵנְבּ
Haba? [Answer] By virtue of sending their children to yeshivot שֵׁי אלֲֹה ,הרָוֹאְכִלְו .)תֶסֶנְכַּה תיֵבִּמ םיִאָבֶּשׁ דַע( אָתְּשׁיִנְכ
or waiting for their husbands to return from the Beit Midrash
הרָוֹתּ דוּמְלַתּ דַבְלִּמ ,םיִשָׁנֲא וֹמְכּ הרָוֹתַּה תוְֹצִמ לָכּ ןֶהָל
39. This pasuk is discussing bringing the dead back to life. “Dew” refers to וּנְבַתָכֶּשׁ הֶמַּבּ לָבֲא ?אָמרְָגּ ןַמְזַּהֶשׁ הֵשֲׂע תוְֹצִמ הָמַּכְו
Torah, as the Torah compares itself to “dew” in the beginning of perashat
Ha’azinu. ןָשְׁפַנְל הֶיְהִי יאַדַּוְבּ אָבַּה םָלוֹעֶשׁ תֶמֱא .אָחיִנ ,הָלְעַמְל
