Rabbi Mordechai Chaim Slonim studied Bat Ayin daily and read a passage at Shabbat meals. In his old age, when the book was read to him, he spoke about how distant he felt from the spiritual levels it described.
Distance Is a Reason to Keep Studying
According to tradition, recognizing that distance was precisely why he continued studying: the book offers a vision of the service to which one aspires. The story concerns constancy, humility and the desire to keep drawing closer to Torah, even when the road remains long.
