Deuteronomy Chapter 32:47
Ki lo davar Rak who! For It is not an empty thing from you, for this is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days upon the land, when you cross over the Jordan to possess it.’

Rak means empty- What is the message Moses is trying to tell us?

When one eats, he can eat and eat until he is full, stuffed, and just can’t take one more bite.

The Baal Haturim says that Moses is telling us that the Torah is packed so much with wisdom, it’s endless. The more we learn the more will grow and once we get a taste of the Torah how incredible it is the more we will want to learn. The Torah will never empty out, we will never get bored.

Moses is telling us that by learning Torah we will merit a good life and prolong our life and our family life.

Shabbat Shalom
