Searching for Security
The world has definitely changed since last September 11.
An American recently told a reporter: "I would like to live
in Western Europe. To live a good life, a quiet life, not the
life of a world power that is worried about the peace of the
entire planet, that attracts hatred, jealousy and terror. I
would like to live an anonymous life in an anonymous
country."

The Power of Lishmoh
by Rabbi S. Furst
HaRav Shach zt'l, in the preface to the third edition
of Avi Ezri, wrote, "Even though [Chazal] have said
that a person should always learn, even shelo lishmoh
for by means of shelo lishmoh he will come to
lishmoh and, in addition, limud shelo lishmoh is a
mitzvah -- this is only concerning the mitzvah of
limud. With regard to that which concerns the
seguloh of Torah to save one from every bad
midda -- from jealousy, lust and desire for honor,
which remove a person from the world -- rationally, this is
only through limud kemitzvoso. Even though eventually
it [shelo lishmoh] will bring to lishmoh
nonetheless, until then, the person is in great danger . . .
