(“Anyone who is a Torah scholar, and his son is a Torah scholar, and his grandson is a Torah scholar—the Torah will never cease from his descendants, as it is said (Isaiah 59): ‘And this is My covenant… My words shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your seed, nor from the mouth of your seed’s seed,’ says the Lord, ‘from now and forever.’ What does 'says the Lord' mean? The Holy One, blessed be He, said: I guarantee you this. What does 'from now and forever' mean? Rabbi Yirmiyah said: From now on, the Torah returns to its own lodging place.”—Bava Metzia 85a, and likewise: “Fortunate is [so-and-so], who merited to be a meeting-place for Torah”—Shut Sridei Esh II:120, and also: “The Torah returns to its own meeting-place. And just as father, of blessed memory, was precious and esteemed by us all in Sarajevo, so should you be to us”—Y. Burla / Longings, 294)
