The Beit Midrash is the space where Torah study and the encounter between those who study it take place. There are different styles and modes of Torah study that reflect the purpose of the study in the eyes of the students. Study aimed at knowledge will be conducted in a different way than study aimed at the observance of the Torah, and study that takes place in a group is different from study by an individual. In many Beit Midrash throughout Jewish history, a preference has been created for study whose ultimate goal is knowledge. Such study may invite competition between the students, who knows more and who knows less, and create motivation for learning built on satisfying the 'I' and self-respect. This preference is opposed by the fact that in the Jewish Beit Midrash, students study in a group, in which the system of connections and hierarchy within it is dynamic and changing. Placing the group at the center of study, not as a product of chance or as a necessity of reality, offers an opportunity to release the tension that study aimed at knowledge may create and to transform study into a process that requires a personal process of inclusive and caring relationships between people. A process that will strengthen the influence and relevance of the Torah that will emerge from the Beit Midrash to the society outside of it.
