[Avodah] Talmid Torah

[Moshe Yehuda Gluck]

R'n CL:
*And similarly we don't have enough kavanah for real davening today, but
*we have to work with what we have and we have to posken based on the
*reality of today, not theoreticals.  And the way we posken today is that
*men have to daven three times a day, no exceptions, regardless of
*whether they are engaged in talmud torah or not, or whether they have
*requisite kavannah or not, and they have to say Shema on their wedding
*night, etc etc.

I hope I'm not repeating another poster - I didn't follow the entire thread.
IIRC, this thread started on Areivim because of an argument about whether
the Chiyuv of TT is 24/7 or just two psukim, i.e. v'hogisa bo yomam
v'laylah. 

It is clear in Hilchos Birchas Hatorah that the chiyuv of TT is 24/7, and
that is explicitly stated as the reason why we don't have to make a new
Brocha every we time we read Avodah (unless, according to some, there was a
hefsek such as shinas k'va). See BY OC 46 s.v. V'im ba lilmod: ויש לומר
דשאני תורה שאינו מיאש עצמו דכל שעה אדם מחוייב ללמוד דכתיב והגית בו יומם
ולילה.

P.S. BTW, IIRC reading Avodah wouldn't require Birchas Hatorah because it is
hirhur, however writing Avodah would. Which raises the question, what about
typing Avodah?
