Torah Is More Than Memorization

may have a photographic memory that you remember pages and pages of the and the stories and so on, but that's not Torah. That's information. Torah means you're able to take the lessons of the Torah and apply it to your life, which will alter your actions and sharpen your mid to become a better quality person. And if a person does not have he can never be in a Torah, what is it like? It's like the famous joke that I told years ago about the tuki, the parrot. A guy comes into a pet shop and he sees all types of animals. Sees regular parrot over there 50 bucks. Another one 100. Another one 300. Then he sees one $5,000. Whoa. WHY IS THIS ONE $5,000? HE HAS TO OWN HER. WHY is this one $5,000? Oh, this one. This one's special. This one knows the entire by heart. It's worth $5,000. Yes, you're right. He continues looking. He sees another parrot also big, beautiful price $100,000. Whoa. $100,000. What does this one know that the other guy doesn't know? Goes, "Oh, no. This one, he knows the entire the entire Talmud bi." Wow. This guy has the best tuki in the world. This guy has the best parrots in the world. He continues walking and then he sees a little tuki. Not so pretty, not so big, but the price tag under him $1 million. What is what could he possibly know? Stor says, "Listen, I don't really know what he knows because he doesn't talk." But the other two, they call him rabbi. They say what is this like when a person does not have they do not have the ability to decipher whether someone is a or not whether the whether the Torah that they're listening to or not is true or not. They don't have the ability to tell the difference between right and wrong. Why? because they don't have they don't have the prerequisite to acquire the Torah.
