== Understanding Torah in the Days of Moshiach == Understanding the Torah in the Days of Moshiach will also depend on levels. The Rebbe proves this from what is said about the future: "They shall all know Me, from the smallest of them to the greatest of them" (Jeremiah 31:33). This proves that even then there will be those called "small" in knowledge and those called "great." However, of course, the "small ones" will be called so only relative to the great ones of that time. But compared to the Torah scholars of today, even the smallest among them will be incomparably "great," because then even the simplest Jews will rise to enormous levels of Torah knowledge. (A similar example that smallness is a relative definition can be brought from what is described in [[Masekhet Shabbos|Tractate Shabbat]] (3b), that even giants in Torah can be in a given state "too small" to discuss certain tractates, and then it is better to turn to rabbis who master them better than they do.) However, one might question from the first part of the mentioned verse: "No longer will they teach one another or say to each other" - which means that everyone will know the Torah well and will not need the help of others. The Rebbe responds that only "Him" - the Holy One, blessed be He, Himself - everyone will grasp and recognize to the same extent. But in general knowledge of Torah, there will indeed be small and great, and the small will need to be helped by the great. In another way, the Rebbe explains that at lower levels of knowledge of Hashem in the Days of Moshiach, they will not need learning from another, but to rise to higher levels, they will be helped with assistance from the Rav. Regarding assistance and help in understanding the Torah, it is interesting to note the Rebbe's conclusion regarding authors of books from among the great Jewish scholars, based on the words of [[Rabbi Yonatan Eybeschutz]]: "The spirit of Hashem stirred within them to direct their tongue to halacha without the writer's intention, and Hashem's desire succeeded through them." From these words it emerges that there can be true subtleties of understanding in the works of great Jewish scholars that the authors themselves are not aware of, and others, greater than they, will reveal these to them! And just as, for example, in the written Torah there are matters that even [[Moshe Rabbeinu|Moses]] himself needs help from the Holy One, blessed be He, to understand. The Rebbe connects this fact to the idea that Moshiach will teach Torah to all of Israel, including Moses and the Patriarchs. ==== The Learning Format in the Days of Moshiach ==== Expanded entry β [[Moshiach's Torah - Torosoh Shel Moshiach|Moshiach's Torah]] The learning format in the Days of Moshiach will be different from learning during exile. The physical eyes will be refined and will absorb intellectual concepts through sight, thus drastically shortening learning time, and all students learning from King Moshiach will be able to learn the material simultaneously with uniformity. Evidence of such learning in the past was told by [[the Arizal]]. It happened to him one [[Shabbos|Shabbat]] that during a half-hour [[sleep]], he received supernal Torah secrets from above that would require [[sixty]] or [[eighty]] years to reveal through [[Dibbur|speech]] or writing.
