OPINION & COMMENT Torah is Only an Antidote when One's Torah Meets the Required
Level Part I
Torah study serves as an antidote to the yetzer hora.
The yetzer hora is always active and does not cease
his work, even for a moment. It has to be countered with a
constant opposing force, and that is by occupying oneself
with Torah. However, the Torah is an antidote to the
yetzer hora but it is only effective when one's Torah
is up to the required level, including being without
interruptions. If there are periods of bittul Torah
then, "if you abandon Me for a day, I will abandon you for
two days", and if for two days, then [I will abandon you for]
four days, and if for several weeks or more, the estrangement
from Torah gives a lot of power to the yetzer hora,
and much more Torah is required to return to one's original
state. All material on this site is copyrighted and its use is
