A Torah of Life

„The observance of the Torah in no way burdens life, but rather makes life pleasant and refines it.”From LeNevuchei HaDor, X

Our Torah is a Torah of life; its observance is not meant to burden us but to raise us up. To make us better people in our complex world. The Rav expands in “LeNevuchei HaDor” on the need specifically of the rabbis to be those who make the Torah accessible to the people, and who succeed in clarifying and conveying a Torah that is a Torah of life.
