This means that it\u2019s not enough to know the right things to do, or even to discuss and be a proponent of doing those things. Instead, you have to actually do them. Talking the talk means you know what\u2019s right. Walking the walk means it\u2019s serious enough to you that you take action and do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sincerity in Torah Study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I recall a friend\u2019s sister said she was looking to marry someone who was going to be sitting and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/about.php\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/about.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">learning Torah<\/a>. She said, \u201cBut that means sitting, and LEARNING.\u201d Just \u201cbeing\u201d in Kollel (school for advanced Talmud studies), without actually sitting there steeped in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/about.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Torah study<\/a> was not what she wanted. The people just in it for the reputation of being a \u201clearner,\u201d but who actually spend more of their time in the coffee room or walking around schmoozing, are not sincere enough about the elevated status of learning Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ones who are willing to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/torah-study-for-beginners\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/torah-study-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">put in hours of toil and study<\/a> even when they could be in a dozen other places, who care about what they\u2019re doing and see the value in it, those are the ones who truly appreciate what it means. They will walk the walk by staying in the Beit Midrash (study hall) even when everyone else is running out to see the President, an eclipse or rainbow, or a visiting friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I heard that when <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shmuel_Berenbaum\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shmuel_Berenbaum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rabbi Shmuel Berenbaum zt\u201dl<\/a> was on a plane to Israel once, it was diverted to Cyprus, where there was a lot of military activity going on. Everyone on the plane was staring out the windows, trying to catch a glimpse of the action, but R\u2019 Shmuel\u2019s head was down in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/whats-the-difference-between-the-torah-and-the-talmud\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/whats-the-difference-between-the-torah-and-the-talmud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gemara (Talmud)<\/a>. That was more exciting than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wok the Wok<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m sure that while you\u2019re following my train of thought about acting on the correct behaviors, you\u2019re also wondering what happened to my ability to spell. The title of this piece is Wok the Wok, which sounds like a Chinese cooking show. Did I let my spellcheck take over and revise the way \u201cwalk\u201d is spelled? No, my friend, I can assure you it was a very deliberate spelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m a big believer that when we see things, they are meant to convey messages to us. Some people will ignore them as just normal occurrences, but some people will look for ways to find meaning in whatever they experience, as I have been advocating for decades. Well, one evening, I was shopping in a local supermarket and my wife asked me to order some food for her. They have a full fast-food menu and they prepare things like sandwiches, salads, burgers, and yes, Chinese dishes too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lessons from the Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you order, you can watch the food being made before your eyes. As I was watching the clock in order to make it to <em>shul<\/em> (synagogue), I was very aware of when they began and prepped my order. I saw them saut\u00e9 the vegetables, add the sauce, pack the rice, and cook the chicken. I was waiting for them to combine everything and finally place it in the container, but they didn\u2019t do it right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, I saw them use a long-handled utensil to turn on a water faucet, filling the wok they had just used. It had a scrubbing surface of some sort at the end of the long handle, and they deftly swished it around the wok, getting off the remnants of the food they had just prepared. They then tipped the wok over, spilling the water out, and did it one more time. I kept wanting them to just pack my food so I could leave, but they took the time to wash out the wok, making it available for the next order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning the Soul Without Delay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I stood there, I realized that Chinese food uses a lot of sticky sauces, and if they didn\u2019t strike while the iron &#8211; or whatever non-stick metal woks are made of \u2013 was hot, it would be a lot harder to clean later. It reminded me of <em>teshuvah<\/em> (repentance). When we do something wrong, and we all do, what is our next step? Do we try to pretend it never happened? Do we deny it? Or do we instead acknowledge what we did and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/it-shouldnt-be-scary-how-to-repent\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/it-shouldnt-be-scary-how-to-repent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">try to repent<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our best bet is to get rid of the stain on our souls before it sets in and gets harder to remove. If we wipe off the superficial <em>schmutz<\/em> (dirt)<em> <\/em>as soon as possible, it will be easier to remove than if we wait. That can apply to being lazy about doing the right things too. If we act fast, we can overcome the procrastination before it becomes a habit. My experience taught me that not only should we want to walk the walk, but if we wok the wok \u2013 meaning acting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/pekudei-do-you-have-time\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/pekudei-do-you-have-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>zerizut <\/em>(alacrity)<\/a> and an awareness of what procrastination does &#8211; we\u2019ll quickly be fresh and clean and ready for whatever comes next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button tm-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/application\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">If you want to dive deeper into these concepts with a personal study partner, you can discover more about us or sign up to become a TorahMate today.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By Rabbi Jonathan Gewirtz<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>Did you enjoy this column?
