RE: [TruthTalk] Avram & Yosef

[Slade Henson]

IMPROVED POST  When one wants to become a Rabbi, a young man begins to sit at the feet of a rabbi. He follows his teacher, watches how he interacts with his environment, how he responds to those of the Covenant and those outside the covenant, watches as he studies and davens (prays), and listens as he teaches those around him. The Rabbi does not give lectures on how to be a Rabbi; nor does he teach the principles of Sermon Delivery. The student must watch, listen, and learn the lifestyle.    In a Gerizah Shavah [i.e. in a similar vein], Torah study is not just sitting in front of Kosher parchment with a yad [pointer], studying the text of Torah. The study of Torah is life and life should embody Torah study. Torah study [application] begins away from the bimah [study desk]. This is the only way one can expect to be more like Messiah.    Thankfully, the butterfly still extends her wings, even with some of her fuzz rubbed off.    -- slade    The "spirit" of TruthTalk has only improved with the arrival of Debbie and Greg. -----Original Message----- From: Gregory A.
