  1. I think this makes sense, because Yitro understands the world in a different way then Moses. Sarah Loewenstein

  2. Secular learning does enhance your religious life. Learning about science and the way the world works gives us a greater appreciation of Hashem. Sarah Loewenstein

  3. I think torah is my way of life, because without it I would not know the beauty of shabbos or the humain ways we kill animals for kashrot.

  4. I believe that secular knowledge does enhance religious life. When one learns about the way humans work or how the environment work it makes me feel even more strong about Hashem because there has to be some great force that is causing these amazing things to happen in nature. I believe that Torah has had an impact on my life because it taught me moral stories that taught be right from wrong.

  5. Sam Roth: I don't necessarily think secular studies enhance my religious life but merely give me simple perspective of the world around me and not just my Jewish bubble that I'm constantly in. Learning Torah has made a huge impact on my life, giving my life structure, purpose, a set of morals to live by and teaching me how to live my life properly.
