[Avodah] Non Torah Studies

[Rabbi Meir G. Rabi]

Is it not likely that the prohibition is against non-Torah learning which
serves no purpose other than engaging in those studies for their own
interest and excitement?

There is no prohibition against learning any skills for earning a
livelihood.

Also many of those exciting developing sciences were closely tied to
various philosophies. Pythagoras was a cult/religious/philosophical leader.
Even today and certainly Einstien and his group discussed and wrote
extensively about esoteric life values in connection with their work and
research.



Best,

Meir G. Rabi
