My daughter complains that she reads a rashi but has no time to think about what it MEANS.<br /><br />Perhaps if the schools would slow down a bit and teach (or simply allow, though they probably would need some guidance) them to absorb the material, this might affect tefila, too. In general, we are not encouraged to think about, ponder, and emotionally internalize what we read and study.arijesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04054624664476807741noreply@blogger.com
