LEARNING P’SHAT [#15919]

October 17, 2021

QUESTION:

How can I enjoy learning pshat when I’m not that drawn to learning pshat? I would rather be learning other areas of the Torah, such as derush and sod.

ANSWER:

You need to be able to enjoy the intellect of the Torah, and to enjoy the clarity of just knowing the Torah’s information and thinking. And that is besides for connecting to the Torah on a level that goes beyond reason and logical understanding.
