We’re looking at a fascinating Gemara in Menachos 99b this week that asks a pretty relatable question: How much Torah do you actually have to learn to count as "continually" connected? Is saying the Shema in the morning and at night enough to hit the mark?
The conversation gets into what we call the "Yitro Revolution." We talk about why the ego—the constant need to be the "best" or to compare our learning to the guy next to us—is actually the biggest thing holding us back. Using the story of Yitro (the ultimate outsider) and Moshe’s decision to personally serve him dinner, we explore why real Kabbalas HaTorah is actually about humility and "face-dancing" (smiling). It’s a deep look at why Mount Sinai shouldn't stay on a mountain, but needs to land right in the middle of your living room, your office, and your messy daily life.
What we get into:
Why "a little bit" of Torah is more powerful than you think.
The connection between Yitro’s tattoos and Moshe’s humility.
The "Plumber vs. Engineer" analogy for spiritual growth.
Why the world is actually just one big dance.
