Reply To: what should I learn?

Thank you all! I am strongly considering learning alei shur and nefesh shimshon (per ourtorah and ultimate skiers’ suggestions) as well as mesillas yesharim and some pertinent teshuvos in igros moshe.

Oomis- have you read michtav me’eliyahu and did you find it both easily readable and inspiring in the original hebrew, or was it difficult to get through? Thanks for the suggestion!

Walton- holy brother I thank you for your concern and sensitivity to my job security and parnassah opportunities. However, in this particular case you happen to be mistaken. I’m actually fairly modern and do not plan on going to kollel for any amount of time, so you really did not offend me (I found it funny in fact), but what does get on my nerves is that you are spreading sheker. Some of my best friends and most trusted advisors are or were in kollel for many years, and I value their love, knowledge and friendship far, FAR more than any silly “skill” they could have possibly learned. Tov li Toras picha me’alfei zahav va’chesef. I’ll work on myself and you work on yourself. Deal?
