{{heb|בתחילת דרכי חזרה בתשובה, לא היכרתי בכלל את התורה -- ולכן התחלתי לקרוא בה כדי להכירה. כשהגעתי לפסוקים האלה, נאחזתי בפליאה והתרגשות. התחלתי להבין שהתורה אכן מדברת אלינו ממש, בכל דור ודור ובכל מקום שנימצא. התחלתי להבין שאין לימוד התורה הישג אינטלקטואלי יבש, אלא דבר מעשי מאד -- הרי ש'''לֹא רְחֹקָה הִוא'''. }}

{{heb|יותר מזה, הבנתי שהתורה מלמדת אותנו שכל יהודי יכול לקיימה, כי '''לֹא בַשָּׁמַיִם, הִוא''' {{hcite|p/pt/pt0530.htm#12|שם יב}}. היא נתונה לנו נחלה בעולם הזה -- לקיימה ולחיות על פיה. '''לֹא-מֵעֵבֶר לַיָּם, הִוא''' {{hcite|p/pt/pt0530.htm#13|שם יג}}, שנחפש חכם מופלא לפרש לנו אותה, כי אינה רק לחכמים ולא רק לצדיקים ולא רק לכוהנים -- אלא נחלת בני ישראל כולם -- גדולים וקטנים כאחד.}}

{{heb|וכיוון שכך הוא, ולאור תקופת ימי התשובה המתקרבת ובאה אלינו לברכה, כדאי ומומלץ לחדש את קשרנו אליה, לא רק ללמוד אותה וללמד, אלא בעיקר לחיותה.

{{pasuq|For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off|p/pt/pt0530.htm#12|Deut 30:12}}

At the beginning of my path of becoming a practicing Jew, I was not at all familiar with the Torah -- therefore, I began to read it in order to become familiar with it. When I reached these verses, I was seized by wonder and emotion. I began to understand that the Torah does indeed speak to us, really, in each and every generation and wherever we may be. I began to understand that Torah study is not a dry intellectual pursuit, but rather something very practical -- as it says, '''it is not far off'''.

Beyond that, I understood that the Torah teaches us that every Jew is able to fulfill it, because '''it is not in Heaven''' {{hcite|p/pt/pt0530.htm#12|ibid 12}}. It was given to us as an inheritance in this world -- to fulfill it and to live according to it. '''It is not beyond the sea''' {{hcite|p/pt/pt0530.htm#13|ibid 13}}, that we need to seek out an exceptional sage to interpret it for us, because it is not just for sages, nor just for the righteous, nor just for the Cohanim -- rather it is every single Jew's inheritance -- both the great and the small together.

And since it is so, and in light of the period of the Days of Repentance quick approaching us, it is worthwhile and recommended to renew our connection to it, not just to learn or teach it, but principally to live it. Because '''the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it''' {{hcite|p/pt/pt0530.htm#14|ibid 14}} -- it was given as a practical matter, to show us the path in this world, and to benefit us in the next one.
