PRACTICAL PRESERVATION

[110b bottom] Braisa: All Kohanic gifts were given with salt (and if one fulfills all 24 of the gifts, it is as if he fulfills the entire Torah). Just like salt preserves things, so to does the Torah preserve life (in this world and the next).

D-E-ep Thoughts: The Torah is not just a means to earn spiritual reward in the world to come. When we follow Hashem’s guidelines for living, it also ensures us to gain the most (and be the happiest possible) in this physical world as well.
