Master The Basics First

jumping to the highest level is simply ridiculous. I mean, sometimes I hear things from new cha uh where they tell me, "Oh, yeah. Listen, Rabbi, I was just introduced to the zor. I was just introduced to the cabala, so I'm going to study with my rabbi." Wait, hold on a second. Wait. You were just introduced to the zor. When did you do chuva? When did you convert? When did you even get introduced to God? What? Three, four, five years ago. you're already going to the highest level. Either you're the biggest genius of the generation or you're the biggest idiot. Most likely the latter. Most likely the latter. Why? Because even people that I know that read the entire shas every year in not the whole thing twice, three, four times a year in one year. If you could finish it one time in your life, you're already a big shot. I'm talking about I know people that finish it a few times a year. They don't read the zol. They don't read the kabala. Why? They know it's above them and they're not ready for it. But you you haven't finished the with you're going there. It's like you just got a janitor job at NASA, but you decided, you know what, let me try this uh try my luck at building the rocket, too. You don't know how to sweep, but you're going to build the rocket. Go ahead. I'm not going to be on that rocket, though. I'm not going to be on that rocket. I don't I I don't trust you. Tries.
