Her Mother Loves Torah

Eva writes:

My mother is an extremely spiritual person. As such, she has a need to attend as many chassidus shiurim as possible on a daily basis. I’ve attended a few with her, and for me the real inspiration was not from the lecture, but rather from seeing my mother’s reactions. She takes every word the rabbi or speaker says literally and I can see her face light up as though she’s hearing something for the first time in every shiur.

One speaker used a phrase- I forget which one- and he said it was regarding people who their entire lives revolve around torah, people who have no negiah to this world other than torah. My mother asked him if kollel boys were included in this concept. "No, I’m talking about people who don’t even do any errands around the house, they’re totally immersed in torah," was his response.

My mother was visibly moved. "Wooow," she said with great enthusiasm.
