The Chabad community of Buffalo, New York, published a booklet of chiddushei Torah written by locals, acknowledging residents who take time to study Torah in-depth.
“This year 5782 is unique as it is the Shemita year. The Rebbe encouraged both laymen and Torah scholars to increase in studying Torah during the Shemitah year. Although the Mitzvah of Shemitah is fulfilled in Eretz Yisroel, the message of Shemitah to increase in Torah study and our spiritual connection to Hashem can be applied in the diaspora as well,” the editors wrote.
“One of the ways to increase Torah study is through writing and publishing Chidushei Torah. Publishing Chidushei Torah benefits the readers as well as the writers, for when a person knows that he has to explain his idea in writing, this will cause him to study the concept with more depth and clarity.
“Baruch Hashem, The Jewish community of Buffalo is blessed with many great Rabbis, Yeshiva students and Torah scholars. This booklet is a collection of Chidushei Torah. It contains essays and insights on the different dimensions of the Torah, Peshat, Remez, Halacha and Chassidus.
“We would like to thank all those who took the time and effort to write down and send in their chidushim. A special thanks to Sholom Ber Gurary for his help with formatting this booklet,” they wrote.
