Why is there a Mitzva to Learn Torah?
Why is there a Mitzva to Learn Torah? by Rav Mordechai Friedman
This shiur tackles a fundamental philosophical question: if the Torah already obligates us to perform its 613 commandments, why is there a separate mitzva to learn Torah? You already need to know the laws to fulfill them — so why add a dedicated mitzva of Talmud Torah?
Given before the Etzion Foundation dinner in New York, May 18th, 2026.
