Description

P. 131. Every year there is a new peirush (commentary) on the Torah, because every year has new hashpaos (influences) from above. One of the most miraculous things about Toras Hashem is that it is dynamic and it always speaks to us in every year and every generation. It is possible to learn in order to change rather then learn in order to find what is comfortable. A Jew has to constantly live ready for last year's way of looking at everything to be shattered. Also, there is a difference between someone who travels from Beis Midrash to Beis Midrash on Simchas Torah, versus someone who stays in one place. Today it can be hard to find one's nekudas haemes (point of truth). It took the Kotzker 70 years to go through Tehillim, because each pasuk (verse) was a different inyan (thing) going on in his life.
