Because They Left My Torah

It is ruled in Orach Chaim (747): "One must be extremely careful to recite birchos HaTorah." The Mishnah Berurah (par. 2) writes that one should thank Hashem for choosing us and giving us the vessel that He covets, and cites what Chazal teach us on the posuk, "`Why was the land lost?' - that no one in that generation was able to answer that question. Only HaKodosh Boruch Hu, Who knows a person's inner feelings, knew that although they were engaged in Torah study, that study wasn't important enough for them to recite a brochoh on it."
