Study and Action

Hi,

"This question was asked before Rabbi Tarfon and the sages: Is study greater, or is action greater?

"Rabbi Tarfon spoke up and said: Action is greater.

"Rabbi Akiva spoke up and said: Study is greater.

"All of them spoke up and said: Study is greater, for it leads to action."

(Talmud, Kiddushin 40b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
