re: #9 Naso Tang
Well, thank you. I think I was pretty fortunate to have a teacher that showed me the difference between ‘reading’ and ‘studying’. The two activities aren’t the same. If you read something three times, you still haven’t studied it. And this is not a skill that we learn in school. I managed to jump into a haystack and land on the needle.
There are many, many readers—in all fields, and very few who study.
And thank you for that wonderful set up—because the key to this week’s Torah portion is knowing the difference between reading and studying.
Heyyyy Abbbottt!
