Toras Habayis / ‘Es La’asos’ – 37

If a person was blessed with wealth, he should not just rely on his own learning, because the wealth Hashem gave him can do wonders to strengthen the holy Yeshivas, and to support Torah learners. By doing so he will gain children beloved to Hashem, as it says, one who teaches his friend’s son Torah is considered as if he gave birth to him. In our generation especially, the reward for supporting Torah is inestimable.

One should show tremendous alacrity in this, while money is still available and there are scholars to support, for one never know what tomorrow will bring. Fortunate is the person who Hashem gave the opportunity to be involved in such a precious endeavor.

“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)
