פרשת במדבר
 
ואחרי כן יבאו בני קהת לשאת | ד' ט'ו
“Then the sons of Kehos shall come to carry”
 
The Gemara relates that the ארון carried its carriers – i.e. the sons of Kehos did not need to exert themselves when carrying the ארון, rather the ארון carried them.
 
Rav Chaim Volozhin zt’l explains that nowadays, the Yeshivos represent the ארון and its fundraisers are the carriers. Despite the hardships – financial or otherwise – that these people endure, they are assured that ultimately, the Yeshiva (ארון) will provide them the  סיעתא דשמיא to succeed.
 
In a similar vein, Rav Aaron Kotler zt”l adds that from an academic perspective, a suitably qualified individual who is recruited to teach, is assured that ultimately the Yeshiva (ארון) will provide him with the  סיעתא דשמיאto succeed.
May we all be zoche to the סיעתא דשמיא that is worthy of those in our sacred profession.
