Arnstein With this, the Divrei Yisrael explains the passuk that tells us that, “One should not In memory of his father come to the Mikdash at any time,” as hinting that one should not wait to serve Hashem ‫שמואל בן פנחס ושינדל‬ when he has the time — rather, he should make the time to do so, even when it’s hard.
