Learning

"Notwithstanding Judaism’s emphasis on rituals and mitzvot, it is interesting to note that one of the primary teachings of our faith is that “the study of Torah exceeds them all.” As our tradition understands it, without education there can be no true faithfulness. Everything we do as Jews is contingent on knowing what, how, why and when, and only with limmud (learning) can we fully embrace the practices of our faith."

~ Rabbi David Rosen,  Rabbi Emeritus
