[Avodah] why stop learning?

[Moshe Y. Gluck]

R' SZN:
so then the sentiment is that  davening  for  a person , is a bigger zchus
than  learning  for that  person? 
and certainly more  than doing  a chessed for the zchus of that person? 
<SNIP>

I just saw a great story that says the opposite. The Rogatchover was known
for his short tefillos on Yom Kippur. He used to daven quickly, and then sit
down and learn for the rest of the day. He explained that when he davens,
he's talking to Hashem. And when he learns, Hashem is talking to him. "And
on Yom Kippur, I'd rather Hashem is talking to me than I am talking to Him!"
