HaLeivi > value secular study for its own sake
This was very vague, I am not sure what this even means. When I eat donuts, do I value them for their own sake or because I am hungry, or doing it l’shem?! Is it about parents who teach kids engineering to earn an honest living? Is it about learning science to marvel as Hashem’s world (R Twersky specifically recommends physiology with a caveat – can be done after yeshiva hours at hime)?
