Yeah, פרק י is a wonderful thing, but it's best when it's behind you.

You know what I mean? Because especially people get, some people get caught up in פרק י, and they learn it over and over and over and over, you know, which in a way is good, cuz it's hard and you have to really understand it, it's very important. But the rest of the book is helping you understand it. You're so you're not gonna understand it until you learn the whole book.

Yeah, a lot of people do it. So it's very important to learn how to learn the גירסא. And learn through the whole thing first, and then go back.

And even the second time you shouldn't learn פרק י ten times before learning פרק יא. Should learn through the whole book a few times, like three times or four or five times, just each chapter once. And each every time you do that you should think of how the rest of the book helps you understand this and try to get understand a little better. But if you still have questions on that chapter, make note of them, mentally or write them down or whatever, and go on through the book.

And after you go through the book a few times and you noticed, and you know, you you you will answer a lot of questions just by doing that. If you have any questions left, then you could go back and study each chapter a few times. But you should still like study each chapter three times and then move on, because there's you're always gonna find new questions that need answered.
