DEUT233 The exemplary behavior of a person who studies Torah will encourage the spread of Torah study. The Talmud states in reference to this verse that we must behave in a manner that will cause the Name of Heaven to be beloved. One should study Torah and serve Torah scholars, be honest in his business dealings, and speak pleasantly to others. Then people will say about him, "Fortunate is his father who taught him Torah. Fortunate is his teacher who taught him Torah. Woe to those who have not learned Torah. See how pleasant are the ways and how proper are the actions of this person who has learned Torah." If, however, someone studies Torah and serves Torah scholars, but is not honest in his business dealings and does not speak pleasantly to others, what do people say about him? "Woe to that person who learned Torah. Woe to his father who taught him Torah. Woe to his teacher who taught him Torah. See how corrupt are the actions and how ugly are the ways of this person who has learned Torah." (Yoma 86a) The Sefer Charaidim writes that included in the mitzvah of loving God is the mitzvah of loving a Torah scholar, who studies the word of God. The Talmud states that someone who loves a Torah scholar will be blessed with children who will be Torah scholars. (Shabbos 23b)
