Adam's Torah
This podcast is recordings from classes given by Adam Sabzevari. There are episodes on the weekly Parasha and the Jewish holidays
There is also a series on the Sefer HaMitzvot, in which we go through the list of the Mitzvot.
We will learn the Sefer HaMitzvot HaKatzar (“Concise Book of Commandments”), written by Rabbi Yisrael Meir HaKohen Kagan (the Chofetz Chaim). The book is an abbreviated reworking of the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvot that only includes commandments applicable outside of Israel in the post-Temple era. ************************* Podcast Link: https://adamstorah.buzzsprout.com/
Adam's Torah
Positive #14 - To Study and Teach Torah
In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #14, which is to learn Torah and teach Torah.
- "Ve'shinantam" - "Teach [the Torah] repeatedly"
- The Torah should be studied repeatedly, not just once
- One should strive to be able to answer any question on the Torah, without any hesitation
- "Le'vanecha" - "to your children"
- This mitzvah also requires one to teach Torah their children
- If one cannot teach Torah themselves, they are required to ensure the child will receive a proper Torah education, for example through Jewish schools or tutors.
- "Yomam va'Layla" - day and night
- At a minimum, a person should study Torah every day and night
- A person should establish and set aside specific times to study Torah, to ensure that it does not get neglected
- "Talmud Torah keneged kulam"
- Torah study is of equal importance to all other mitzvot, because Torah study leads to action
