Jews are known as "The People of the Book". They have always been literate. Learning is one reason Jews have preserved their culture and succeeded in every diaspora country they lived in for two thousand years. Today, Talmud is part of the public-school curriculum in Korea. But how important is study in Judaism? How is Jewish learning different from learning in other cultures? Where does the centrality of study come from? This podcast will examine these questions and show how Jewish learning keeps Judaism alive until today.
