משנה מסכת אבות פרק ד משנה יד
Rabbi Nehorai said: Uproot yourself to live in a community where Torah is studied; do not delude yourself that the Torah will come to you. Only with colleagues can your studies become fortified. Do not rely on your own understanding. [CAJE translation]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. Why can our studies only be fortified with colleagues? Why can’t we rely on our own understanding?
2. According to this text, how should we model Torah study and education?
Time Period: Rabbinic (Maccabees through the Talmud)
