Description

Based on Mishnah Torah I: Book of Knowledge, the Laws of Torah Study, Ch. 1





  • Why is there a separate mitzvah to study Torah? Isn't it assumed that we'll know the law to keep the law?

  • To what extent do we have to teach Torah to others?




Torah study is the heart and soul of Judaism, but why? In the words of Rabbi Shlomo Freifeld zt"l: "Religious observance is personal, but ignorance is treason." Not knowing is tantamount to not teaching or mis-teaching. We're letting ourselves down, and we're letting down everyone who depends on us for guidance.
