- Observations on Torah Study
The Sages of the Land of Israel read this property of Torah study right into the Scripture that commands us to study the Torah: "The Torah that Moses commanded us is the inheritance (which they read as "tiresome") of the Congregation of Israel" ( Deut. 33:4) (Bava Bathra 8:2)
The Sages of the Land of Israel teach us that the tiresomeness of Torah study is in fact constructive and is actually by design. Forgetting our studies should not be taken discouragingly but should be welcomed because it causes us to be perpetually involved in Torah study, keep it relevant to our heart and reap its rewards (Eccl. Rabba, 1:13).
Don't Just be Religious: Be Godly!
