Learning Torah daily after Shacharit
Those who are capable of studying
- After Shacharit one should learn Torah [1] as Chazal say anyone who goes from the shul to bet midrash to learn is zoche to see the Shechina. [2]
- One should establish a set time to learn everyday that one will not allow to pass even if one stands to lose a lot. [3] Yet, someone who trusts Hashem (has Emunah) will certainly not lose money by learning as Hashem rewards doubly. [4]
- If one is forced and greatly pressured to miss his set time for learning, he should learn one pasuk or halacha. [5] and make up the time for learning later in the day or at night. [6]
Those who aren't capable of studying
- Even someone who doesn’t know how to learn at all should walk to the Bet Midrash (when the Tzibbur sets time to learn) since one also gets reward for walking. [7] One also gets reward for staying in the Bet Midrash and also for hearing words of Torah [8]
- One who doesn’t know how to learn should support those who do and will get reward for their Torah like the deal between Yissachar and Zevulun. [9]
- Someone who knows how to learn Torah a little should learn what he understands rather than just read without any understanding. [10]
- Someone who can learn Torah and think of new ideas (Chiddushim), spending his time reading Tehilim or Zohar instead of in-depth study may be considered Bitul Torah. [11]

- ↑ Brachot 64a based on Tehilim 84:8- “Vayalchu MeChayil El Chayil El Elohim Betzion”
- ↑ Tur and S”A 155:1. Gra 155:3 sources it in Gemara Sanhedrin 99bs which says that someone who learns inconsistently is compared to an adulteress wife, Mishna Brurah 155:5 sources it in the Yerushalmi Sotah Perek 9 , and Halacha Brurah (Shaare Tzion 155:2) adds that another source can be Yerushalmi Brachot (end of Brachot) that someone who learns inconsistently is violating the Brit Torah.
- ↑ Halacha Brurah 155:1; yet, as with the reward for all Mitzvot, the reward isn’t necessarily meant for this world.
- ↑ Magen Avraham 155:1 in name of Emek Bracha, Mishna Brurah 155:4, and Halacha Brurah 155:1
- ↑ Magan Giborim (Eleph HaMagen 155:3), Mishna Brurah 155:4, and Halacha Brurah 155:1 based on Eruvin 65a which says that Rav Acha would regularly learn a certain amount every day and when he couldn’t because of business he would make it up at night. Mor Ukesiah writes similarly 155 that one should learn a fixed amount of time daily but if one learns at a certain time for different intervals everyday then if he needs to go to business he can make it up later that day or in the night.
