To get the full meaning of your teacher's lesson, you must ask questions. Even if you don't understand an idea, consider its merits carefully. Give the teacher credit that he wouldn't say something ridiculous. Appreciate that you're not perfect. Maybe in this case you're making a mistake.
Uncomfortable ideas are our greatest opportunity to grow.
Wisdom is deep. It takes time and patience to acquire. In Jewish consciousness, learning lasts a lifetime. The smarter a teacher becomes, the smarter the student becomes. Rabbi Noah Weinberg is the dean and founder of Aish HaTorah International.
