Pirkei Avot 6:5 teaches that Torah is acquired in 48 ways,
which it lists for us. The forty-seventh of the 48 is lomeid al menat
l'lamed, learning for the sake of teaching.
Certainly, it has been my experience that I learn with greater
depth and clarity when I am preparing material to teach it to others. Further,
one who learns in order to teach is forced to consider questions he might
otherwise have dismissed as trivial or irrelevant, since the students will want
answers. Therefore, learning for the sake of teaching will make one a better student.
Have a great day,
Mordechai
