poppa: I went to yeshiva and then to college. I currently work full time. When am I mekayem Torah? I go to a shiur a few nights per week. When mincha is late enough so I can daven after I get home from work, there is a shiur between mincha and maariv every evening. I learn a sefer on the Parshah every week so that on Shabbos I’ll have what to say over at the table. That’s just the learning part.
I also like to think that for the most part, I live a Torah life. I try to make a kiddush Hashem at work every day. There are some people I work with who, to put it mildly, are slightly uncouth. I try to be the opposite, and be a good example of how a proper person should act.
I think this is what RABBI Lamm means.
Feif: I didn’t mean to denigrate people who work for a living, and try to live as torah jews. In fact, I am also no longer in yeshiva (obviously, considering the hours I spend online).
I was responding in kind to the OP. OP seems to think that we should live our lives based on what we read in pirkei avos- I think we should live our lives based on what our rebbeim say. So, ??? ???? ???????, I responded to OP that his lifestyle was also not like his reading of the mishna. Then I bickered with AviK because I like to.
