Description

Objective of a Jew is to connect with Hashem- not to accumulate knowledge. Must try to arouse within ourselves simple desire to come closer to Hashem. Learn daily Torah that does not have any new insight. Must recite tehillim daily to be joyous with every single word said. Sometimes we "get stuck" in learning and we should be grateful that we do not understand. Learning is a connection with Hashem and gives Hashem nachas ruach (immense joy). Before learning must speak with Hashem.
