Parsha Mitzvot-Vaetchanan-Mitzvah 418-Concept 22-Blessing of Torah-Finding Our Portion

“This is the decree of the Torah, which God has commanded (Numbers 19:2).” Chukat, decree, but also used to described a person’s portion of sustenance, is the Torah;each of us must find our sustenance in and from the Torah. (Divrei Binah; Rabbi Yitzchak Yaakov of Bialah)

“Help me find my portion of Torah, and help me derive my spiritual sustenance from my Torah study.” I also add this in iConnect-Shabbat Prayer: in each Amidah when I say, “Give us our portion in Torah,”: We have our portion of Torah sustenance just as we have our portion of physical sustenance.
