Rabbi Yaron Reuven tells a story of how studying Parashat Tetzaveh saved Rav Yom Tov Heller from a death penalty in Prague. During a time of severe persecution of Jews in Prague, some in the Jewish community informed on Rav Yom Tov Heller to the gentile authorities. Rav Heller was accused of crimes against the church and if convicted, it would have been a death penalty, but the Gadol HaDor had incredible Siyata Dishmaya from studying the weekly Parasha, and this unlikely knowledge was the thing that saved him.
