According to some Poskim and Rishonim we are obligated to recite Bircat HaTorah Min HaTorah. This has certain Halachic ramifications as Rabbi Brovender notes in today’s Halacha Yomit

What do you do if you forget to say Bircat HaTorah? The Shulchan Aruch notes that in such a case, the bracha of ‘Ahavat Olam’ (or Ahava Raba’) can serve as a sort of substitute for Birchat HaTorah. Why that is and how exactly this works is the subject of today’s Halacha Yomit.

Before we learn Torah we are required to say Bircat HaTorah. This obligation falls upon both men and women. Today’s Halacha Yomit explores the details of this halacha.

It’s hard to imagine anything more amazing than Davening - the fact that G-d allows man to approach

Him and speak that which is dearest to his heart and soul. A world wherein G-d listens to what we have to say is a world full of hope and love.

But we shouldn’t forget Talmud Torah - the flip side of Tefillah (to paraphrase Rav Soloveitchik). The ability to listen to, contemplate and attempt to understand the Word of G-d is at least as remarkable as the fact that G-d listens to our prayers. A world wherein we can hear the Word of G-d is a world full of potential and meaning.

What, then, should we do when there is a ‘conflict’ between Davening and Talmud Torah. How do we rectify such a situation? In today’s Halacha Yomit Rabbi Brovender starts addressing this important issue.
