וחי בהם

Rav Shurkin asked a question on the zoom shiur on Sunday, Aug 15: the heter for pikuach nefesh is learned out from the words וחי בהם - ולא שימות בהם. We also find the same words in Parshas Vaeschanan by a רוצח בשוגג, and the Rambam learns out from these words that the רוצח's rebbe must go into golus too - because חיים without Torah isn't חיים.

If so, asked Rav Shurkin, why can't a talmid be mechalel Shabbos to hear a shiur from his Rebbe, since חיים without Torah is like מיתה?

What's the answer?

WELCOME TO YESHIVAS TORAS MOSHE

Yeshivas Toras Moshe, in Jerusalem, named in memory of Rav Moshe Soloveitchik zt”l, was founded in 1982 by his grandson, Rav Moshe Meiselman shlita. Over the years, Toras Moshe has become one of the leading yeshivos that caters to the serious advanced English speaking talmid who wants to grow in his Torah studies in Israel. Rabbi Meiselman has led Toras Moshe in a path that continues his family’s tradition of deep analysis and broad application of Torah ideas. The Yeshiva has experienced tremendous growth. With 180 bochurim and 50 avreichim in the kollel, enrollment is at an all-time high.
