In Sefer Yehoshua, Hashem encourages Yehoshua saying " You must be very strong and resolute (chazak ve'ematz)… let not the book of Torah cease from your lips, but recite it day and night". The Torah seems to be highlighting the need for consistency in our Torah learning, regardless of time or circumstance. We started learning our learning of parsha at a time of difficult circumstances, when Klal Yisroel was cast into a time of darkness, a sort of "night" following the events of October 7th. In joining Torat Imecha, you have joined women around the globe in being strong and consistent in learning Torah. No doubt your strength and consistency in Torah learning has been a zechut in strengthening all our brothers and sisters in Israel. May you be blessed with strength to continue learning and thereby strengthening אחינו בית ישראל as we start Sefer Bamidbar.
