To communicate with you a little of my yeshiva experience. Both yeshivas were very special places.
There is something very special about being immersed in Torah all day. I was kind of a "Masmid," in that it would have taken a thermonuclear device to tear me away from the Gemara.
And there was in Israel a kind of light that lit up inside my head
So Torah is important.
Why I mention this is that I am thinking that it might be hard for me at this point to go through the entire Oral Law as I had hoped.
But what I am thinking is the idea of מזכה את הרבים- To bring merit to many.
But I think that since the authentic Lithuanian yeshiva approach is precious and dear and valuable, it might be an idea to recreate something like that in whatever area you settle down in.

But it has to be authentic with the real spirit of Torah. That would be the exact opposite of what most yeshivas are today. That is my thought for how I could perhaps merit to the great light of Torah--by bringing Torah to others. That is Gemara and Musar.
False Torah is worse than no Torah. Torah used to promote a cult is a travesty.
