4 Greatest Goals

Torah Study
Prayer
Good deeds / Chesed
& Business

The Talmud , Brochos 32 b , says that for these 4 we need Chizuk -
Rashi - always with all of ones strength. !

The obvious q.

Why is the fourth item on the list with the first 3 ?

One answer - as we learn in Avos - if there is a lack of sustenance , how will one maintain their Torah study. ?
Thus # 4 is the way to maintain & support the first 3 , when it is done for the proper reasons.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.

Time to Think

On a fast day we have more time to think.
On this fast , we think of the 5 tradegies that occurred on this day.
- The Luchos were smashed.

Thus we need to think of how to improve our fulfillment of the 10 Commandments. To reconstruct & rebuild the Luchos.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.

The need of a Mentor

We learn that if a daughter made a vow , the father can cancel it.

If a wife made a vow , the husband can nullify it.

So too , if any person makes a vow , the Rav cancels it.

We all need a Mentor !
