I was blessed with being in two great yeshivot, Shar Yasuv and the Mir in N.Y., and heard and received guidance in learning from Naftali Yegeer and Shmuel Berenbaum] and also learned from David Bronson.

My impression about learning is that of the medieval authorities like the first Musar book, the Obligations of the Hearts and the Rambam that learning Torah (the Old Testament and the two Talmuds), Physics and Metaphysics are the things to concentrate on. However, it can be objected that these are hard. But being hard to understand is not a valid objection. These are things that one is supposed to study even with an I.Q. of room temperature. Like it says in the paragraph of the Shema, “Thou shalt teach them to your children, and speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walketh on the way.” So the question is not whether to do this study or not? Rather, what is the best way to go about it? In tractate Avoda Zara page 19 it suggests to say the words in order, and to go on. That means, to finishing the whole book, and then to review that same book many times. [It is even said up to 400 times.] [Also to listen to lectures from people that know their subject.

Even though, he was considered as nothing by all, I realized his ability -astounding ability- to go into the depths of the Talmud with Tosphot. From that period, began my writing on Ideas in the Talmud and Subjects in Bava Mezia in my two small booklets that have have links to in this blog Nowadays, I do not have the privilege to learn with David Bronson, but Izhak Rosten sent to me a copy of the Avi Ezri of Rav Shach which I find very helpful in finding and searching out the depths of the Talmud
