Chasidut su Isaia 40:31
וְקוֹיֵ֤ יְהוָה֙ יַחֲלִ֣יפוּ כֹ֔חַ יַעֲל֥וּ אֵ֖בֶר כַּנְּשָׁרִ֑ים יָר֙וּצוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א יִיגָ֔עוּ יֵלְכ֖וּ וְלֹ֥א יִיעָֽפוּ׃ (פ)
Ma quelli che aspettano il Signore rinnoveranno la loro forza; Monteranno con le ali come aquile; Correranno e non si stancheranno; Devono camminare e non svenire.
Kedushat Levi
The Talmud Ketuvot 110 states that anyone residing in the Holy Land is comparable to someone who has a G’d. The meaning of that statement is that everyone who physically lives in the land of Israel views himself as serving the Lord by his very presence in the Holy Land, a land of substance. On the other hand, anyone residing outside the Holy Land, seeing that he lives in a land lacking substance, views himself as if he did not have a G’d. This means that such a person has not even begun to serve the Lord, (even if he thinks he has). This is also the meaning of Isaiah 40,31 וקווי ה' יחליפו כח, “but those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength (constantly);” the prophet assures the servants of the Lord, that seeing that their service of the Lord leads them to new insights on a daily basis, they will never stand still, (spiritually speaking). This is why the prophet adds that they will not experience fatigue, i.e. לא ייעפו. The word עף, which primarily means “flying,” is used by the prophet here to indicate that the true servant of the Lord does not view himself as “flying high” spiritually, but the opposite, לא ייגעו, they view themselves as not yet having arrived at the first way station on the way to their destination. This is also the meaning of psalms 103,5 תתחדש כנשר נעוריכי, “your youth will be renewed like that of the eagles.”
