Wednesday

So far this week, I've successfully learned Torah and exercised every day. Sunday I was at She'arim, teaching Rambam, Monday learned with Malki (short but sweet), yesterday caught up on Parasha with Rosh, and today almost caught up on Daniel. Perek bet is just so long, once my brain faded I decided to leave the rest for tomorrow. I am relieved and happy to see that I have, in fact, seemed to have picked up some Aramit from the chavrusa with Reva, and I do, in fact, remember what we learned.

I am having a lot of trouble with Devarim. I don't understand how it's organized. I get the overall question of comparing the original events with their repetition here, but Moshe Rabbenu seems to be just saying over and over, Keep the Torah, keep the Torah, keep the Torah. It's causing me to tune out. What is up with this? I am mostly enjoying the Rosh. I missed a few Aramaic phrases yesterday, but the Chazals are comprehensible generally, and many of them are new.

Daniel is just as epic, sweeping, and deep the second time around.

The goal is to finish the week. Then the next goal is to finish next week. Then, I'll see. I'd like to do yoga every day, but also want to get back to piano.
