The Torah Asks to Be Done
Against those who made intellect the soul's reward, Rav Menashe insists that Hashem asks of every Jew what he can do: fulfil mitzvos.
Rav Menashe rejects the view that the soul after death is only the knowledge a person has gathered. Hashem, he says, never asks us for wonders beyond our reach, and He did not expect every Jew to be a philosopher. The Torah repeatedly says to keep and to do, and it describes the commandment as very near, in your mouth and in your heart so that you can do it. The sages said that good understanding is for those who do, not merely those who learn, and that the Torah's study is great because it leads to action. Fear of sin must come before wisdom if wisdom is to last. The Torah belongs to the whole people, and not only to its scholars.

However much or little you have learned, you can act on it today. Pick one thing you already know is right, such as saying a bracha slowly, calling a lonely relative, or giving up a few minutes to learn, and do it before the day ends. You do not need new knowledge or a better frame of mind. Doing a mitzvah creates something real that remains with you. Let your learning lead you to action, and let your action deepen your learning.
