DY: Not sure what you mean “raised the bar for everyone.” As far as what? As for “Shouldn’t everyone want to”, I assume you mean wanting to learn. That is the wrong question. Learning is an obligation, but some people don’t enjoy it and don’t want to, and one of the nagging problems in our education system is that those who don’t want to are meant to feel inferior or that there is something wrong with them or that they aren’t as good as Jews as the next person. Not everyone is cut out to sit and learn, either for years or even hours a day, but we all should feel that Hashem loves us each regardless of our choices in learning.
