The Jewish tradition places Torah study and Torah observance as its central values. Study and action are perceived as being in conflict with each other, and investing in one comes at the expense of investing in the other. This perception leads to the question of which is greater, Talmud or action? and pushes for a decision on this question. Deciding on this question may be expressed in investing greater time, energy, and resources, but it mainly affects the hierarchy that is created between Talmud and action. Creating a hierarchy between the two may also create a hierarchy between people who engage in study and those who engage in action, and exclude certain people from study and other people from action. Blurring the dichotomy between study and action and identifying learning processes that involve action and actions that involve Torah study makes it possible to expand the circles of study and action to different groups in the population and reduce social exclusion from one of these circles in order to continue their centrality in the Jewish tradition alongside each other.
