That's why the gemara says if you are learning and someone is drowning (and we didn't a command from God to the contrary) we should continue learning rather than saving. Studying Torah is not just "studying Torah for your own sake" it is the ultimate "giving back to the world". | |

I know a lot of Jews go into a life of learning Torah but how does that in particular benefit the world? Having children who are Jewish benefits the world but say if the person does not marry or have children. There is a difference between just studying Torah for your own sake and giving back to the world or the community in some fashion, especially while receiving welfare and benefit so you can do such a thing. | |
