I leave you with some food for thought. We learn Torah and do Mitzvohs to better ourselves and to bring G-dly “light” into this world. We learn to respect the various paths in Yiddishkeit within Halacha and our holy traditions. Through the beauty of our Torah and its pleasant ways, we draw ourselves and other people closer to G-d. We don’t learn Torah to crown ourselves academically, and put other people down or to show off our accomplishments. That IMHO would be antithetical to the Torah’s teachings.
