what will the word davening mean then? a joke C”V i can drive to work wearing my tefillin & davening by heart & then text someone else at the same time C”V
Your example is not relevant to the discussion at hand.
For a minyan, halacha specifies that the members have to be physically present. There is no inherent requirement for paper when it comes to Talmud Torah.
I’m still confused why you feel learning from an electronic source is a bizayon, but learning from a paper one isn’t. Do you feel that listening to a tape recorded shiur is a bizayon? If not, why is that any different?
Personally, I *like* having an app on my Ipad through which I have all of Shas, Tanach, the Shulchan Aruch, works of mussar and halacha and lots of other stuff. It’s a virtual portable library. I’m not limited to learning the one book I have.
