What is Torah learning all about?

2 months ago

B"H

Torah learning is a relationship, not an academic exercise. ๐Ÿ“–

We're about to celebrate Shavuot โ€” the day God spoke to Am Yisrael at Har Sinai. The day of the Chuppah. The day of our Chatuna โ€” our wedding to God.

Some say all we heard at Sinai was the letter Aleph.

But Aleph is enough.

Because Torah is about hearing God's voice. Whatever you are learning โ€” Halacha, stories, philosophy โ€” the real power is in the relationship.

As Rabbi Sacks zt'l taught โ€” when we pray, we speak to God. When we learn Torah, God speaks to us.

So every time you open a sefer, say โ€”

Thank you Hashem for speaking to me through the Torah.

Thank you for a relationship that makes life meaningful.

Thank you that the universe is filled with love. ๐Ÿ’›

Chag Shavuot Sameach! ๐ŸŒธ
