## Resource

In episode forty-three of the 48 Ways series during the Omer, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe teaches U’Mityashev Libo B’Talmudo — “let your heart sink into your learning” or absorbing Torah deeply so it becomes part of you. Torah study is not merely intellectual; it must transform character and daily life. Don’t be complacent or arrogant about what you know — review relentlessly, approach familiar material with fresh eyes each year, and challenge yourself to grow. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that the Torah path is like a ramp (not stairs): you are either ascending or descending; stagnation is impossible. Each Jew can and must take their own size step forward. He encourages annual new goals (new notes, deeper angles, application to current life stage) and treating Torah as life itself — with the passion of true love. Complacency dulls the spirit; constant engagement brings excitement, clarity, and closeness to God. Even great sages like Rav Moshe Feinstein reviewed the Talmud over 100 times per cycle. _____________ Recorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on June 21, 2022, in Houston, Texas.
