BRI PARSHAH TIDBITS

"To keep the way of HaShem, to do righteousness and justice…" (Bereishis 18:19)

At first glance, Torah and prayer seem to stand in opposition to each other.
In prayer, a person turns to HaShem with personal requests, seeking that his needs be fulfilled according to his will.
In contrast, the Torah is full of laws and judgments—clear directives describing how HaShem wants us to act.

Yet, in truth, they are not opposites at all—they must be deeply connected. This connection happens when a person realizes that he is completely dependent on HaShem.

Rebbe Nachman teaches in Likutey Moharan I:1 that through Torah learned with strength and vitality, all prayers and requests are accepted. In other words, when a person studies Torah with the intention of nullifying himself before HaShem—not to gain honor, wisdom, or knowledge—his Torah itself becomes a living prayer. His study transforms into a heartfelt plea that his Torah should endure and bring him closer to HaShem.

Practically, this means that we must not let our desires and willpower break down or turn against us. Instead, we should constantly strive to crown HaShem as our King in every situation—channeling the energy of our desires into Torah and prayer. When we elevate our personal wants and passions to become a yearning for closeness to HaShem, then—as Rebbe Nachman says—when this rises, the other side falls.

Shabbat Shalom
