Chomas Hadas / Epilogue – 113

We say every day, ‘and you shall love Hashem you G-d with your whole heart and your whole soul and with all you have’. ‘With all you have’ refers to one’s money, and even if we aren’t on the level to give up all we have for Hashem, we should love him at least as much as we love one of our children. Thus, a person should figure out how much he spends on each child, including marrying him off, and should spend at least that much to support Torah. And just like we spend money on our children happily, so should we spend money on supporting Torah with at least as much joy as we get from spending money on our children.

“And the utterly undoubtable truth is that if the entire world, from one end to the other, would be absent of our engagement and delving into the Torah, even for one moment, literally, then all the worlds - both upper and lower - would be destroyed instantly, and would turn into utter chaos, chas v’shalom…” (Nefesh Hachaim)
