Learn From My Seforim

In his introduction, the Zera Shimshon pleads with the reader to learn from his chiddushim. He writes: "I implore of you with ten terms of supplication to choose from my chiddushim the piece that finds favor in your eyes, for your learning will soothe my soul." He promises that this merit will stand by the one who learns: "This righteousness will stand by you forever, to 'eat' in this world and be satiated in the next. In this merit, Hashem will repay you with children, health and sustenance." He ends with a call to his brothers and friends: "Do a true kindness, and with your eyes you will see children and grandchildren surrounding your table, houses filled with all that is good. Wealth and honor will not cease from your children."
