After
Revii we read that 19:2 (וַיִּסְעוּ מֵרְפִידִים, וַיָּבֹאוּ
מִדְבַּר סִינַי, וַיַּחֲנוּ, בַּמִּדְבָּר; וַיִּחַן-שָׁם יִשְׂרָאֵל, נֶגֶד
הָהָר) that Klal Yisrael
travelled from Refidim to Midbar Sinai. The Ohr Hachaim Hakadosh says these
words of introduction to the Aseres Hadibros and their arrival at Har Sinai
actually hint at how a person must prepare for learning throughout the
generations. (וַיִּסְעוּ
מֵרְפִידִים) is a reference to
the fact that Klal Yisrael is in Refidim and they were weak in their learning
of Torah. So that (וַיִּסְעוּ
מֵרְפִידִים, וַיָּבֹאוּ מִדְבַּר סִינַי) is telling us that Klal Yisrael in order to learn properly
have to leave the laziness that a person can have in his learning and learn
with enthusiasm.
Rav Druk
in Darash Mordechai brings that Rav Shimon Shkop used to say that when a person
is learning if he explains a Sevara and doesn’t use any type of hand motions to
explain what he is saying that is a Chisaron in the Sevara. To explain a Sevara
properly there has to be Tenuas Yadayim.
She’Rafu
Yidaihaim Min Hatorah. It says by Refidim that their hands were lazy from
Torah. They explained things with laziness and without enthusiasm. That is a
problem.
Rav Druk
adds that there is a Chavis Yair that says there is a Rabbinic expression Lo
Yatzo Yadav V’raglav B’bais Hamedrash. If someone Paskened something wrong the
Rabbinic expression to deride that is Lo Yatzo Yadav V’raglav B’bais Hamedrash
he did not find his hands and feet in the Bais Hamedrash. Rav Druk brings the
Chavis Yair who suggests that this means learning without enthusiasm without
the Yadaim, the excitement of hand motions in explaining.
What is
Raglav B’bais Hamedrash? We learn in the same Pesukim right after Revii, that
Klal Yisrael arrived at Har Sinai 19:1
(בַּיּוֹם הַזֶּה, בָּאוּ מִדְבַּר
סִינָי).
Chazal
have a Drasha that on that day they came what does it mean on this day they
came? Chazal say over a well known Drasha that Rashi brings (שיהיו דברי תורה חדשים עליך כאלו היום
נתנו) that it should be as if the Torah was given today. Rav Druk
says you can tell how a person walks into the Bais Medrash for a Seder. If a
person walks into the Bais Medrash with enthusiasm you know he is going to learn
well. If a person walks in lazily and Dreis around and takes awhile to get to
his seat you know that the learning will not be challenging and will not be
done enthusiastically. So that the Raglayim (the feet too) tell us a lot about
the learning. Lo Yatzo Yadav V’raglav B’bais Hamedrash. Use your hands and your
feet to build up the enthusiasm and show the enthusiasm that a person has in
his Limud Hatorah.
