Description
Page 73. Perek 13. The Talmud Yerushalmi's view of the importance of the connection between nigleh (revealed [Torah]) and nistar (hidden [Torah]) as critical to our learning and spiritual health. If the early devout ones spent nine hours each in prayer and introspection, how did they have time to learn and work? The impact of deep introspection (hisbodedus) and tefillah (praying) on Torah learning and parnassah (income). What were those two hours (one each before and after the three daily tefillos) spent on? Relative levels of divine inspiration in Israel as opposed to the diaspora. In Eretz Yisrael, everything is influenced by prophecy and ruach ha'kodesh (divine inspiration), whereas in chutz la'aretz (diaspora) it is more the revealed human intellect. [Pages of Toras Ha'Ro'eh by R' Areleh Har'el] Somebody, who never touches pnimius haTorah (the inner Torah), will also be lacking in his study of the revealed Torah.
