Description
How precious is shalom bais! How much advice is sought in its attainment. The Talmud here promises us our desired goal with apparently very simple advice: we must merit it. This can be understood as a two-fold proposition. Firstly merit implies something earned; that is, to put in earnest labor. Secondly, “if they are meritorious” implies that the couple alone cannot achieve it, for only the Creator alone knows their true merit. Thus if we direct our labor towards its true reward, the dwelling of the Divine Presence between us, we can hope to receive His assistance in the matter—we can then patiently labor until we see its realization. When I paint a painting I choose a subject, a saying of our sages, for example. I choose a subject that I need to ‘grapple with’ in my life. The painting process is a most excellent way to penetrate the depth of the words of Torah, and to change myself through them, as I have made efforts to explain at length in another place.
