The Count

Today’s Learning
Pirkei Avot 6:6 tells us: Greater is learning Torah than the priesthood and than royalty, for royalty is acquired by thirty stages, and the priesthood by twenty-four, but the Torah by forty-eight things.
The 18th way is: By a minimum of pleasure
From our community:
I’ve been using DuoLingo to freshen up my Hebrew skills and it works great. I spend a few minutes a day doing exercises, and the reward has been a fresh understanding and appreciation for nearly all parts of our services.
My progress has been slow, but it’s totally been worth it.
