Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on \u05ea\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4 \u05d1\u05d0\u05d1.\nDiscussed:\n\n \u2022 The Ran explains what the Gemora means that the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed because they weren\u2019t careful to make a Bracha before learning Torah and how to reconcile this Gemara with the other Gemora that says it was destroyed because of the three cardinal sins.\n \u2022 R\u2019 Elya Lopian explains why only Hashem was able to explain the reason the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed, and that since Klal Yisrael disrespected and cheapened the Torah into just a means to an end, it therefore didn\u2019t protect them from committing the sins that ultimately caused the Beis Hamikdash\u2019s destruction.\n \u2022 R\u2019 Reuven Rosovsky on the Torah\u2019s perspective on balancing our love for the land of Israel, the Hebrew & Yiddish languages, and staying focused on the greater agenda of learning Torah & coming close to Hashem.
