What if the Torah itself is the key to breaking free from the Yetzer Hara?

Many people assume that learning Torah and personal struggles exist in separate worlds. But Chazal teach us that Torah is not just wisdom—it is the ultimate weapon against the Yetzer Hara. The moment we hold onto it, even if we aren’t perfect, we give ourselves a fighting chance. Letting go, on the other hand, almost guarantees failure.

In this episode, we explore why learning—even in the midst of struggle—is the single greatest strategy for overcoming challenges. Why do people give up when they feel like they’re living a double life? How does the Yetzer Hara convince us that failure is final? And why does Hashem say, Just keep holding on? Through real-world stories, deep Torah insights, and practical eitzos, this shiur will give you the tools to stay strong, keep learning, and find the strength to overcome.
