A Midrash taught that fools enter the synagogue, and seeing people occupying themselves with the law, ask how a person learns the law. They answer that first a person reads from children's materials, then from the Torah, then from the Prophets (, "Nevi'im"), and then from the Writings (, "Ketuvim"). Then the person learns the Talmud, then the law (, "halachah"), and then the Midrash (, "haggadot"). Hearing this, fools ask themselves when they can learn all that, and turn to leave. Rabbi Jannai compared this to a loaf suspended in the air. The fool exclaims that no one can bring it down. But the wise person says that someone put it there and takes a ladder or stick and brings it down. So fools complain that they are unable to read all the law. But wise people learn a chapter every day until they read all the law. God said in , "it is not too hard for you," but if you find it too hard, it is your own fault, because you do not study it.
