Learning means to teach; teaching means to learn.
Immediately upon learning, you must teach. As you teach, you must learn.
When you study, even if you have no one to teach, study as though you were preparing a class.
Then it will be real learning, and certainly you will merit to teach it.
All humankind was created by G D, with the ability to choose right or wrong then to work everyday to learn, learn, learn to become better humans. We must never quit striving to learn; we learn how to live G D, then ourselves, then loving others in the world by showing them what we've learned or by teaching them how they can learn then teach others. But we aren't all the same, everyone is unique and that's why we can teach others how to learn and teach. However, we never leave G D, out or place
G D, second. G D, is first, always and forever then G D, becomes a part of us inside and out and our lives will grow and expand with all of
G DS, greatest gifts.

Yes, after I learned so much for Chabad I have the irrepressible desire to teach it to others. I feel sometimes its a way for me to remember what I learned from you. Reply
Ever since I began to seek the face of HaShem I experienced a wonderful feeling of insurmountable joy when learning about HaShem. It motivated me to study entire Torah so many times. The joy never dissipates even as I recite The Shema prayer daily. When I get to daily Torah study I feel invigorated in so much so I can’t go back to sleep although I might awaken at 3am. I get the same sensation when sharing as I’m not a teacher though when speaking to someone who is at the infancy of seeking the truth and face of HaShem. I get the same joy. Thank you rebbe for all the lessons you teach. By your light do I see light. I love you and all of chabad.
