הַצֶ"צֶ (הַצֶמַח צֶדֶק) מָנָה שְׁלֹשָׁה דְבָרִים שֶׁבִּזְכוּתָם הִצְלִיחַ בְּשְׁנַת תָּרֵ"גִ בְּפֶּטֶרְבּוּרְג בְּאַסִיפַת הָרַבָּנִים.
וְאֶחָד מֵהֶם הוּא זְכוּת שְׁלֹשִׁים וּשְׁתַּיִם אֶלֶף הַשָׁעֹות, אַשֶׁר טָרַח וְיָגַע בְּדְרוּשֵׁי רַבֵּינוּ הַזָקֵן בְּמֶשֶׁך שְׁלֹשִׁים הַשָׁנִים תָּקֻסַ"דַ-תָּקֻצַ"דַ (בְּשְׁנַת תָּקֻסַ"דַ קָבַע לו שִׂיעוּר מְיוּחָד לִלְמֹוד דְרוּשֵׁי רַבֵּינוּ הַזָקֵן, בִּשְׁנַת תקצ"ד הִתְחִילוּ לְהִתְעַסֵק בְּהַדְפָסָתָם).
On the 8th of Elul, it is recounted that the tzt"z (the Tzemach Tzedek) listed three things in whose merit he succeeded in the year 5603 (1843) in Petersburg at the Rabbinical Assembly. One of them was the merit of thirty-two thousand hours, which he toiled and labored over in the discourses of our Elder Rebbe over thirty years, from 5564 to 5594. (In the year 5564, he set for himself a special schedule to study the discourses of our Elder Rebbe; in 5594, they began working on their printing.)
Summary
Dedication to Torah study over many years brings great merit and can influence significant outcomes, as exemplified by the tzt"z's perseverance and commitment.
