There are times when a person is going through something and wants to be able to help others going through the same thing. But they don’t have the money, the knowledge, or the technology. Still, there is something they could do. What if you don’t work in tech? What if you’re not a talmid chacham (Torah scholar)? The answer is: you heard something that really made an impact on you, go on your phone and share it on WhatsApp. Go on your phone and share it. You share stupid cat videos. Every time you come across a dumb meme, you share it with everybody. Put it on your family chat. That same koach, that same possibility, you have for things that are important, that matter.

A person doesn’t have Torah; he could sponsor a class. A person doesn’t have a phone—what could you do? You could take someone to a class. I remember once, there was a fellow in Brooklyn who didn’t know any Torah. He didn’t grow up religious. He couldn’t learn Torah; he was the most ADHD guy in the world. But he kept hearing about how important Torah was. So what did he do? Every morning, he woke up at 6am and walked to the house of one of the rabbis in the community, who was unfortunately in a wheelchair. He pushed him in his wheelchair from his house to the shul (synagogue) so he could give his shiur (class). The guy didn’t know how to read Hebrew. As soon as he pushed him there, he didn’t go to the shiur. He didn’t even pray; he didn’t know how to pray. He got up in the morning to take the rabbi to the shul so he could give the shiur. And that was his chelek (portion) in Torah.

V'ten chelkeinu b'Toratecha (And give us our portion in Your Torah). What is your chelek in the dissemination of Torah to the Jewish people?
