What is YOUR Relationship to the Beis Midrash? (Avos 5:14) Part 2

This morning (12/24/21), in our "Machshavah Lab" series for women, we continued on the topic we began last week on the four ways that people relate to the Beis Midrash. After reviewing the two approaches we learned last time (Rashi and Rambam) we learned two more: the Meiri's explanation which focused on learning and Rabbeinu Yonah's interpretation which focused on doing mitzvos. We then attempted to analyze the "machlokess" between these four different views. As predicted, this mishnah yielded insight into our own relationship with the instution of the Beis Midrash, as understood in four different ways.
