DEUT261 Thus, Torah is absorbed by watching how others live it and how they bring Torah into their daily existence. Even the "secular conversations" of Torah scholars should be studied (Avodah Zarah 19b). This is also why the blessing in the prayer book, recited before saying words of Torah, is Laasok bidivrei Torah, to be involved with words of Torah and not Lilmod Torah, to learn Torah. Torah must be absorbed by all the senses, and not merely learned by rote or as information. The origin of teaching Torah comes from the Shema, where it says [this verse] that "you shall teach your children and speak of them (words of Torah) when you sit in your house, when you walk on your way, when you like down, and when you get up." From these words, it is easily seen that the Torah originally was taught from parent to child and was not learned in the classroom but through daily actions and routines. And it was taught in all parts of life at all times. This is true Jewish learning.
