  • Why are Jews so preoccupied with Torah study? With a whole world to discover, why do young and old spend their free time poring over ancient texts? By understanding the cosmic fireworks that explode each time we hit the books and sit down to study we are able to appreciate why Torah learning plays such a pivotal role in Jewish life.
    Lecture given by Rabbi Y.Y Jacobson

    There is a profound significance in all this situation. No one with a healthy mind can deny that there are the Jewish people and the state of Israel.
