If you were offered a challenge \u2013 to learn the entire Torah, you would surely react with amazement. And is an ordinary person capable of learning the entire Torah, which spans hundreds and thousands of books? Perhaps only a genius with a tremendous mind, who sits for decades and ponders the Torah, can learn it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there is a way in which any person can learn the entire Torah. And it is not just a theoretical way. It is very possible that the person who has learned the entire Torah is your neighbor, your coworker, your pewmate in the synagogue, the guy from the grocery store. It sounds surprising, but indeed, there is a format that allows the average person to learn the entire Torah, in a relatively short time and in the course of everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The entire Torah in one book<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This week, the world celebrated the end of another cycle of studying the entire Torah, as part of the "Daily Rambam." Rambam's wonderful book summarizes all the laws of the Torah, and whoever studies it practically acquires the entire Torah for himself. This is a unique virtue of this book, which has no equal in any other Torah work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In his fourteen-part book (for which it is called 'Yad HaKezga'), Maimonides summarized all the laws of the Torah, including those that are not practiced at this time, up to those related to the coming of the Messiah and the time of redemption. When a Jew studies Maimonides' entire book, he is in effect studying the entire Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Lubavitcher Rebbe revised the format of daily study in Maimonides' book, in an effort to unite the entire Jewish people in studying all the laws of the Torah, through regular daily study. Since the regulation was issued (in 1944), the entire book has been studied in forty-five cycles, imparting to thousands and tens of thousands this wonderful virtue of studying the entire Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two tracks in the daily study of Maimonides, allowing each person to choose the framework that is most convenient for them. The main track is three chapters per day, in which the entire book is completed in less than a year. For those who find it difficult to meet this deadline, a track of one chapter per day is offered, in which the entire book is completed in about three years. The fifteenth cycle of this track is now also ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And there is another, more concise path \u2013 studying the Rambam's 'Book of Commandments', in which all the commandments of the Torah are concentrated. The daily study of the 'Book of Commandments' is parallel to the general study of three chapters per day, and deals with the same matters. In this way, the multitudes of the House of Israel join in a unified, shared study of the entire Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting now<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Daily study of the Rambam exposes the average person to areas of the Torah that are not generally known to large segments of the public. Starting with the commandments related to the Temple, offering sacrifices, the laws of impurity and purity, and ending with the laws of going to war, the laws of kings, and the days of the Messiah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Tuesday of this week, the new cycle began in the three tracks, and this is an opportunity to jump on the bandwagon. Anyone who undertakes the daily study of Maimonides will soon discover what spiritual wealth they acquire every day, and the privilege of studying all the laws of the Torah, in a format that unites them with the masses of Israel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u05d0\u05dd \u05d9\u05e6\u05d9\u05e2\u05d5 \u05dc\u05db\u05dd \u05d0\u05ea\u05d2\u05e8 \u2013 \u05dc\u05dc\u05de\u05d5\u05d3 \u05d0\u05ea \u05db\u05dc \u05d4\u05ea\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4, \u05d5\u05d3\u05d0\u05d9 \u05ea\u05d2\u05d9\u05d1\u05d5 \u05d1\u05e4\u05dc\u05d9\u05d0\u05d4. \u05d5\u05db\u05d9 \u05d0\u05d3\u05dd \u05de\u05df \u05d4\u05e9\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4 \u05de\u05e1\u05d5\u05d2\u05dc \u05dc\u05dc\u05de\u05d5\u05d3 \u05d0\u05ea \u05db\u05dc \u05d4\u05ea\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4 \u05db\u05d5\u05dc\u05d4, \u05d4\u05de\u05e9\u05ea\u05e8\u05e2\u05ea \u05e2\u05dc \u05de\u05d0\u05d5\u05ea \u05d5\u05d0\u05dc\u05e4\u05d9 \u05e1\u05e4\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd? \u05d0\u05d5\u05dc\u05d9 \u05e8\u05e7 \u05d2\u05d0\u05d5\u05df \u05d1\u05e2\u05dc \u05de\u05d5\u05d7 \u05d0\u05d3\u05d9\u05e8, \u05e9\u05d9\u05d5\u05e9\u05d1 \u05e2\u05e9\u05e8\u05d5\u05ea \u05e9\u05e0\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05d4\u05d5\u05d2\u05d4 \u05d1\u05ea\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4, \u05d9\u05db\u05d5\u05dc \u05dc\u05dc\u05de\u05d5\u05d3 \u05d0\u05ea \u05db\u05d5\u05dc\u05d4. \u05d0\u05d1\u05dc \u05d9\u05e9 \u05d3\u05e8\u05da \u05e9\u05d1\u05d4 \u05db\u05dc \u05d0\u05d3\u05dd \u05d9\u05db\u05d5\u05dc \u05dc\u05dc\u05de\u05d5\u05d3 \u05d0\u05ea \u05db\u05dc \u05d4\u05ea\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4. \u05d5\u05d0\u05d9\u05df \u05d6\u05d5 […]","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":680328,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[138],"tags":[6238,64673],"class_list":["post-1044498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-138","tag-6238","tag-64673"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
