Emes Refers to Torah

I found the following quote on your website. “Also, Torah study is one of the only ways to atone for one’s sins as it says, “With kindness and truth an iniquity can be atoned for” and the Gemoro says (Yebamoth 105) truth refers to Torah study.” I looked up the gemorah on kuf hey and found that torah is mechaper, like it was for beis eli but did not see that it was referred to as emes there. Is there a proof that when it says kindness and truth it refers to torah?

Thank you.

Answer:

The source for the interpretation is another Gemara, in Berachos 5b.

Best wishes.
