Learn From A Rebbi

I was talking to someone who lives where I live who has learned a lot of Torah in his life. I was stuck by how shallow and convoluted his thinking is. Like - wow!

 

Then I realized: He never learned one day in Yeshiva. So he is somewhat adept reading and translating words into English. But he was never trained in how to think and analyze a text. That is what you get in Yeshiva. So he goes through life thinking he understands but really understands little. But he is convinced [!!!!] that he learns better than any Rav or Talmid Chochom. 

Sad. 

Mussar Haskel: Learn from a Rebbi how to learn.

 

And never stop.
