Artscroll<\/span>: This person who goes right from davening to learn and right back to Shul when the time for prayers arrives is not wasting any time and is devoted to learning and praying.

We should show that we too are engaged in the service of Hashem always, and hopefully merit to greet the presence of Hashem in the afterlife. We should try not to waste time on meaningless pursuits or time fillers, as these will not be considered time used to the service of Hashem.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rough or Nice?

\nR\u2019 Dessler<\/span>: For the righteous, death can be like pulling a hair from milk, because a righteous person has little connection to the physical world, and happily accepts to lose his physical body. But, a wicked person (who gets caught up in and indulges in the pleasures of the world) will find it very difficult to leave the physical body behind.<\/p>\n
