Hashem took David’s life on exactly the day He had decided, not one day
earlier or later. This demonstrates the significance of life. Either a dearth
or surplus of days is liable to damage a person.

“But Hashem became angry with me because
of you, and He did not listen to me: Hashem
said to me: It is too much for you! Do not
continue to speak to Me further about this
matter”

(Devarim 3:26)

There is a specific prohibition against forgetting words of Torah, which
we learn from the pasuk “Only beware for yourself… lest you forget.”

How can one be commanded not to forget? Isn’t forgetting a natural
tendency?

Rav Shach, zt”l, said that Hashem is called , because He said
“Enough” to His world. But He did not say “Enough” regarding the
Torah. There were Torah giants who learned during the night, as well
as the day. The Maharsha would immerse his feet in cold water, and
Rabbi David Chazan, zy”a, would tie his payot to the walls, to keep from
falling asleep. # 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Dvarim-EYAL | 4 - B | 18-08-19 | 13:48:13 | SR:-- | Black 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Dvarim-EYAL | 4 - B | 18-08-19 | 13:48:13 | SR:-- | Cyan 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Dvarim-EYAL | 4 - B | 18-08-19 | 13:48:13 | SR:-- | Magenta #26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Dvarim-EYAL | 4
