u'shmartem et nafshotechem-there's nothing like learning torah and living it simultaneously
My wife questions my current practice of listening to shiurim before falling to sleep.
Of course, I mean taped shiurim and not live shiurim. It reminds me of the long Shabbos
afternoons of my youth when I would be in my grandfather's shteibl (the men would be there
all afternoon for dvar torah, reciting tehillim and discussing halachah), and I would
doze off halfway through the afternoon. My wife poskens that I am not paying kavod to the
rabbis who have poured their hearts into preparing a shiur. I suppose, too, that it is also
like leaving a sefer or chumash open on a table overnight.
