Bamidbar 5773

The Midrash Rabbah explains that the Torah was given with three things: fire, water, and desert. Just as these three items are free, so too are divrei Torah free (as they can be passed from Jew to Jew with ease). My rebbe Rabbi Shmulewitz explains that the three items represent different situations. It doesn't matter if the situation is good or bad, one must continue to learn Torah, anywhere and anyhow.
