Ameilim BaTorah - Joey Newcomb Ameilim BaTorah - Joey Newcomb

TYH Nation Presents Ameilim BaTorah Joey Newcomb Chazal teach that “Im bechukosai teilechu” means putting your whole heart into learning Torah. Ameilus is not just working hard. It is being so in love with Hashem that you never want to stop connecting to Him. Think about something you enjoy so much that when you have to pause, you wish you could stay with it a little longer. That is what real Torah learning can feel like. When your neshama connects, Torah becomes sweet, energizing, and alive. You unlock the guarantee of Chazal that Yagata Umatzasa Taamin- When you toil in learning you can become a Talmud Chacham- and through that you bring incredible nachas to Hashem. The joy in Torah is everything. Torah is what lights us up. Torah learning is what keeps us alive and connected to Hashem. As the Alter Rebbe, The Ba’al Hatanya teaches in Chapter 5 of Sefer Hatanya “וְהוּא יִחוּד נִפְלָא שֶׁאֵין יִחוּד כָּמוֹהוּ וְלֹא כְּעֶרְכּוֹ נִמְצָא כְּלָל בְּגַשְׁמִיּוּת, לִהְיוֹת לַאֲחָדִים וּמְיוּחָדִים מַמָּשׁ מִכָּל צַד וּפִנָּה. The connection created through Torah is a wondrous connection, like which there is none other and which has no parallel anywhere in the material world, whereby complete oneness and unity, from every side and angle, could be attained.” Rav Tzaddok Hakohen of Lublin expands this even further.” וכשאין לו צוותא יעסוק בתורה שהוא דפוס מעשה בראשית ושל כל הנבראים כמו שאמרו בבראשית רבה פרשה א, ונמצא יש לו צוותא של “כל הבריאה וכל העולם כולו. Paraphrased: Not only is one’s connection to Hashem created through Torah, but it also connects him to all other Yidden and really to the entire world. Torah creates tzavsa-connection and companionship, which humans so deeply need. Since the Torah is the blueprint of the world and Hashem looked within it and then created the world, by connecting to the plans for the world you are in essence connecting to the entirety of creation. So take some special time after hearing this song to learn Hashem’s Torah and to share the sweetness of Torah with another Yid. It will enhance your connection to other Yidden, and to the Creator of the world. Extra Learning: It is worthwhile to see the whole Perek 5 in the sefer Hatanya and the beginning of the sefer Resisei Layla of Rav Tzaddok to really see the whole picture.
