Reply To: Learning on Shovuos – Got It All Wrong

There is a story between the Dubner Maggid and the GRA were the the GRA said Tikun Leil Shevuos and the Dubner Maggid learned Shavuos night. They asked the Dubner Maggid why don’t you do like the GRA? He gave a mashel. When a peddler shows samples to sell merchandise, it only makes sense if he has a storeroom of merchandize to fulfill the orders. The GRA is an outstanding talmid chacham can show samples but I have to learn to fill up my storeroom in order to be able to show samples. We must learn before one can do, גדולה תלמוד שמביאה לידי מעשה.
