The power of discussion

Our Sages tell us that “the Torah can only be acquired in a study group – and not in manner where ‘each one sits in solitude and studies Torah ... [in which case] they grow foolish.’” See the end of Tractate Berachos and the Alter Rebbe’s Shulchan Aruch (Hilchos Talmud Torah, Chapter 4, Law 10). (ibid, footnote 45)
