Episode 45: Rabbi Yoni Sacks "Simplifying Torah Study"

Rabbi Yoni Sacks presents us with an approach to Torah study that is a lost art: mastering the basics first. Rabbi Sacks shares his personal journey to Rambam, exploring the ways in which today's approach to Talmud Torah diverges from the original teachings of Moshe at Sinai. He takes a deep dive into the core problems with Torah study that Rambam identified, and how these problems are present in our current community's approach to Talmud Torah. This is an episode not to be missed, as Rabbi Sacks explains how the Mishneh Torah restores the original method of Talmud Torah and solves the problems with current forms of Talmud Torah. But that's not all, the Rabbi also provides his insightful perspective on what changes Rambam would advise in our approach to Talmud Torah today, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the study of Torah and Judaism. With Rabbi Sacks' engaging storytelling and deep knowledge, this episode provides a much-needed inspirational and educational experience for the modern learner. Tune in to broaden your understanding of Talmud Torah and gain a new perspective on essential aspects of Jewish learning.
