[Avodah] Torah Lishmah

[ramiller500 at aol.com]

To what degree does Torah study "lishmah" mean one or more of these?

1.  Study to understand the subject matter as deeply as possible
2.  Study to become closer to HaShem
3.  Study for the sake of HaShem's glory
4.  Study to be able to practice mitzvot properly (or at least to know how, in the case of mitzvot that the Jew can't personally do because the Beit HaMikdash isn't operating, or he's not a Kohen, etc.)
5.  Study for any other reason (give details)

Thanks!


Sincerely,
Bob Miller
