How can we appreciate the gift of the Torah?




SimchaMinute
A quotation-a-day by Rabbi Avigdor Miller

"A great love you have loved us, Hashem" — blessing on Krias Shema

The blessing of light is said first, that we should become aware at first of the general benefits... and then to comprehend that we have even more. One who fails to appreciate the more-readily felt benefits of material kindnesses such as light and all physical needs, is not yet ready to appreciate the kindness of the gift of Torah. — Praise, My Soul

Chovos Halevavos has become the foundation for Jews in their service of Hashem. Great Torah luminaries, e.g. Rabbi Yosef Karo, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, the Vilna Gaon and Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk immersed themselves in the sefer and encouraged others to do likewise. Simchas Hachaim Publishing is publishing Chovos Halevavos with Rabbi Avigdor Miller’s insights.
