QUESTION:
What is the best way to learn any of the sefarim hakedoshim?
ANSWER:
First go through the entire sefer quickly, and afterwards go back and review it from the beginning, piece by piece, trying to understand well each section you learn. For every section you finish, write a summary of it. If you have any questions, answers, and explanations on it, write those down too. Think about how you thought before you learned the sefer, and what new insights you have learned from it. Every so often, at the end of learning any section, briefly review the main highlights. Think about what the general approach of the sefer is, and, if you are lucky, Hashem will cause your heart to understand what the view of the author of the sefer is, and what is unique about his sefer, in relation to other sefarim.
