The Rebbe's Advice #669 - Avoiding Forgetfulness of Torah

In memory of Rabbi Gavriel & Rebbetzin Rivkah Holtzberg HYD - Shluchim to Mumbai, India

You ask what can be done to avoid forgetting the Torah you study. Our sages suggest that we articulate with our mouths the words of Torah as we learn them.

Preferably, this verbalization should be done together with a friend. This is known as having a chavrusa for learning. Having a partner in learning the ongoing dialogue between you, helps you remember the Torah discussed for longer periods.

Additionally, memorize orally and with great depth the ma'amor Vehadarta Pnei Zakon of the Alter Rebbe,printed in Likutei Torah “Parshas Kedoshim.”
