[Avodah] Torah study vs. other contributions to society

[Doron Beckerman]

In response to Rn Luntz:

 I'm not at all sure I agree that ability to be Mechadesh, or even
intellectual capacity, is the determining factor here. A person who is a big
Mechadesh might find that his learning is with less Amal baTorah than one
who is average, and the Torah of the latter person may be more valuable to
Hashem, and to protect the world (and perhaps, this is why it is greater
than Hatzalas Nefashos - who knows?)  than that of the former.
