Is Learning Gemara Enough? (Part 1/4)

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yaakov Klein’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

okay what a great question today such an important question maybe the most important question that could be asked today in education we learn gamarra all day is this enough should we be learning something else and if so like why is it only gamarra and the reason why this is perhaps the most important question that could be asked is because when it comes down to it every single experience that we have is based on our perspectives on life because much more than whatever we experience practically the question is experience practically the question is what are our Frameworks for processing what we experience to understand what we're going through two people who go through the same thing and to each of them the experience is completely different because they understand different things about that and so much more important than where a person is in life what a person's circumstances are what a person's personality as like characteristics is how does the person think how is the person educated because that's going to be the lens through which they filter and process and which they filter and process and ultimately experience and therefore feel like react or respond to every single thing that they go through every single moment of their lives so in a certain sense education is the most important thing and education doesn't just apply to to children to adolescence to teenagers education is your is your whole life you at any given moment a person who wants to make a change can actually start to revisit some of the perspectives that they use to approach
