Chelek Lamed Daled pg 24. The Torah warns us not to forget what we've learned, yet if someone forgets because circumstances genuinely prevented them from reviewing, it isn't considered "forgetting" at all. Why? Because they never let go of the Torah - the Torah remained their priority. Sometimes, what looks like stepping away is actually the deepest expression of connection. Reb Zeira intentionally forgot the Talmud Bavli he had learned so he could fully absorb the Talmud Yerushalmy. Moshe broke the Luchos to preserve the Torah forever. In both cases, a temporary "loss" became the foundation for something far greater. What does Hashem want from me? Am i aligning myself with Torah as my life force? Use that as the guiding force. Am I stepping away ("forgetting") because I'm disconnecting, or because, for this moment, this is what Hashem wants from me? Sometimes moving away from something might be the strongest expression of connection. This Week's Sicha Learning is in Honor of: *An anonymous listener, in honor of her birthday on 6 Av, with brachos for herself and her family in all areas. * Chaya Bunia bas Leah Frieda, whose birthday is on Tishah B'Av, wishing you a shnas bracha v'hatzlacha! *Rochel Kaplan - l'ilui nishmas her father, Yehuda Leib ben Peretz Mochkin, whose yahrtzeit is on Tishah B'Av.

May the zechus of this learning bring the ultimate redemption for all of Klal Yisrael, me'avdus l'cheirus, with the coming of Moshiach now. And a heartfelt Mazal Tov to Mrs. Schapiro as we celebrate just one week until her family's upcoming chasunah! May it be a time of abundant brachos and simchos.
