The Endless Journey of Torah Learning

Torah learning is a journey that never ends. Even for someone who has received rabbinical ordination, the process of growth doesn’t stop. Rabbi Meister’s own ordination comes through a direct chain of transmission—his Rabbi received it from his Rabbi, all the way back to Moses. That lineage isn’t just symbolic—it’s alive, passed down in study halls, classrooms, and quiet one-on-one conversations.

But even with that incredible legacy, Rabbi Meister says something powerful: “It’s only a drop in the bucket.” That humility—that recognition that there’s always more to learn—is a deeply Jewish value.

Every week, Rabbi Meister returns to the Torah center where he studied decades ago. Why? Because the well of wisdom is never empty. Rabbi Meister’s Rabbi gives a special class each week, and he keeps showing up—not out of obligation, but out of passion. Each class is a chance to gain new insight, hear something in a new way, or reconnect with ideas that matter.

This mindset isn’t just for Rabbis. It’s for all of us. Whether you’re new to Judaism or have grown up with it your whole life, there’s always more to explore. Judaism isn’t about mastering information and moving on. It’s about returning, revisiting, and deepening.

And in a world that often rewards moving fast and knowing it all, this message is a reminder: sometimes the most meaningful growth comes from slowing down, sitting in a familiar seat, and hearing something old as if it were brand new.
