The intensity of our feelings for Torah

Hi,

"When Rav Safra died, the sages did not tear their clothing for the loss, because he was not their mentor.

"Abbaye rebuked them: Is the law taught, 'When one's mentor passes [one tears his clothing]?' It is taught, 'When any sage passes [one tears his clothing]!' Further, his lessons are in the mouths of people in the study hall every day!"

(Talmud, Moed Katan 25a)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
