Ki Savo: Gaining Weight From Torah

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Okay, Rabbi side going to have Shabbos one of our Torah on parshas Ki Savo. You should rejoice with all of the good that Hashem gives you. There is a very interesting tradition both in and in the world of Lithuanian Torah about a certain phenomenon that's actually quite interesting. A tradition from Rabbeinu Hakadosh of Lublin, Reb Leibel of Lublin about a guy in his time who is fat even though he was very poor and he was very diligent in learning. And nobody could understand why was this guy so hefty. He did not eat a lot. And the Lubliner Rebbe Reb Leibel Eiger said he achieved his enjoyment and his physical heftiness from learning Torah. His the Torah made him plump. Well, by the way, the Reb Tzaddik Hakohen writes the same thing on Shemini Atzeres. Again, he brings from the Harav Hakadosh of Lublin that there was a guy who became a Baal Basar from the enjoyment of his limud Torah. Which is interesting that the Gemara makes mention that Reb Papa was a Baal
