Shivchei HaRan, An Account of His Pilgrimage to the Holy Land 30/שבחי הר"ן·
אוּבְאֶרֶץ־יִשְׂרָאֵל הָיָה עוֹסֵק בְּתוֹרָה וּתְפִלָּה, וּבְכָל יוֹם כָּתַב בְּעַצְמוֹ תּוֹרָתוֹ.
1While in the Holy Land, the Rebbe was constantly involved with Torah and prayer. Every day, he would write down what he perceived in the Torah.
בוְהָיָה מִתְפָּאֵר מְאֹד וְאָמַר: שֶׁהַחִלּוּק בֵּין תּוֹרַת חוּץ־לָאָרֶץ לְתוֹרַת אֶרֶץ־יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּרְחוֹק מִזְרָח מִמַּעֲרָב.
2When the Rebbe spoke about this, he said, “The difference between the understanding of the Torah in the Holy Land and elsewhere is like the difference between east and west.”
גוּבְכָל יוֹם וָיוֹם הָלְכוּ אֵלָיו הַגְּדוֹלִים עִם הַקְּטַנִּים לְשַׁמְּשׁוֹ כְּדֵי לִשְׁמֹעַ חָכְמַת תּוֹרָתוֹ הַקְּדוֹשָׁה וְהַנּוֹרָאָה מְאֹד מְאֹד.
3Every day, people came to him, great and small alike, to serve him and thereby hear his awesome holy words of wisdom.
