Newbee,
?”? ????? ????? ??? ?? ?? ??? ?? ???? ?? ?”? ????? ??? ??”?
Is a nice aggadic message stressing the importance of learning Torah but its not taken literally or taken to say a talmid chacham is a better person than a woman or a man who has a learning disability. Or person A should marry person B.
You made that up. You don’t like what Chaza”l say, so you decide that they didn’t mean it. But these things are nogeia l’halacha, regarding priority in aliyos, for example.
Im not sure what question I didn’t answer that you are referring to.
Whether learning Torah leads to more ruchniyus.
I asked, “Do you think there is absolutely no correlation between Torah learning and middos and/or ruchniyus (spirituality)?”
To which you responded, “There is no connection between middos and being an inherently better person.”, which did not answer my question (and was very wrong itself).
