Rabbi Uri Zohar, the
former secular Israeli media celebrity turned Orthodox Jewish scholar, gave the
following advice in an interview with two young Jewish men:
I hope very much that you
also listen to someone who is experienced. I know what you are talking about.
But I wish to Hakodesh Baruch Hu that you will know what I’m talking about.
Look into the Torah. Have something stable in learning every day. And don’t
learn what you don’t feel you are close to. Learn whatever you want. אין אדם לומד תורה אלא ממקום
שלבו חפץ You learn what your heart pulls you to
learn. It can be halacha. It can be Chumash. It can be Gemarah. It can be
Mishnayos. It can be Midrash. Whatever. But don’t leave the Torah. This is
life. Torat Chaim.[1]
