“No leaven of yours shall be seen throughout # 26347-EYAL-6
your boundary for seven days, nor shall any

of the flesh that you slaughter on the
afternoon before the first day remain overnight
until morning”

(Devarim 16:4)

Observing Torah and mitzvot is the precondition for settling the Land.
Mitzvah observance and Torah study are the greatest pleasures possible.

Words of Torah make such an impression on a person that they may save
him from sin.
One must pray for love of Torah. The Chatam Sofer shed copious tears
that his son, the Ketav Sofer, should develop a love for Torah.

It is preferable to pray for ahavat Torah on Yom Kippur than to pray for
wealth in order to support Torah scholars.
Rabbi Yossi ben Kisma would not exchange Torah and mitzvot for all the
wealth in the world.
