Should we fast or not? 🤔 Importance of Torah Study #shorts #torah

Sometimes, people who want to get closer to HaShem fall into the trap of Satan and become "overly righteous." Instead of learning more halachos (laws) and working on their middos (character traits), they take on regular fasts and burden themselves physically. Before any voluntary fast, we have to introspect honestly. Will this fast affect my Torah study? Will I feel weak and tired all day and don't want to pray? If so, fasting does not get us closer to HaShem. Many times, it's simply a diet. Join BeEzrat HaShem. Learn with Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner. Study kosher Jewish ideologies and halachos.
