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; 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.
