Buying Time
August 2026

As the days begin to shorten and the nights grow longer, the Talmud points out that night was created for Torah learning, and G‑d is giving us more time to learn.

The Rebbe points out that Rashi teaches that time spent learning Torah is not deducted from our lifetime. On the contrary, if you give up an hour of free time for a Torah class, you haven't lost an hour; you've gained one. Torah learning is like buying time - it adds those hours to your life. The longer nights are G‑d's invitation to invest in time that lasts forever.
