It’s the Eibeshter’s Torah   

There are too many stories to print in so short a time, but a couple are too powerful, too indicative, not to share.

At the Stamford Yeshiva’s Melaveh Malkah for Lakewood alumni, Rav Meir greeted talmidim warmly, grasping each hand with his two hands as he gave brachos and divrei Torah to each and every one. One of the talmidim, a rosh yeshivah himself, told Rav Hershkowitz that his bochurim were in the sugya of chezkas habatim, learning the Stamford Rosh Yeshivah’s Torah, and everyone was benefiting from it.

Upon hearing that, Rav Meir let go of his hands and jolted.

“My Torah?” he asked in astonishment. “It’s not my Torah, it’s the Eibeshter’s Torah. The pasuk in Tehillim says, ‘Kol haneshamah tehallel Kah,’ and Chazal say in the Midrash, ‘Al kol neshimah v’neshimah, tehallel Kah.’ We must thank Hashem for each and every breath He gives us! So how can I take credit for any Torah I say if it’s all coming from Hashem?”
