EXOD212 When Torah learning and mitzvot are in conflict and only one may be fulfilled, the performance of the mitzvah takes precedence over the learning of Torah. Maimonides, Hilchot Talmud Torah 3:4. The Mishnah Avot 1:17 informs us that the main goal in life should be the action, the performance of mitzvot, and not the learning of Torah. While it is true that the Torah learning is the means that brings one to proper action, mitzvot, Kiddushin 40b the Jew's purpose in the world is the performance, not merely the learning. A person who only learns Torah, without the performance of mitzvot, is compared to a person without a God. Avodah Zara 17b. Thus, of all the paths to God, the performance of mitzvot is primary. This is reflected in [this verse]. How does the Jew beautify God? By performing mitzvot in a beautiful manner, such as by using a beautiful shofar, lulav, and so forth. Shabbat 133b
