Shiurim in this topic
This understanding comes from the word קולטים (koltim), which in certain contexts can mean "to provide shelter" or "to take in," similar to how a city of refuge (עיר מקלט) "absorbs" or "takes in" those seeking protection.
In this sense, "דברי תורה קולטים" could imply that the words of Torah provide spiritual refuge or protection, offering a safe haven for those who immerse themselves in it. The Torah serves as a source of comfort, guidance, and sanctuary, especially for those in need of emotional or spiritual refuge. This interpretation aligns with the concept of Torah as a life-giving force that shields and supports individuals.
