Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman

Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman: "The Talmud teaches us: 'Learn everything and then seek understanding' (Shabbat 63a). You must read the words even if you do not understand them completely. It is written, 'My soul broke through with desire' (Psalms 119:20). The Talmud says that the surface must be broken, but the depths need not be explored (Avodah Zarah 19a). One need only read the words, even if he does not understand.

When you study quickly, you will absorb a great quantity. You will be able to review each volume many times. What you do not understand at first will appear simple the second or third time."
