berg’s conception of torah lishmah includes not only study, but application. In
other words, it refl ects the classical rabbinic notion, rather than that of Hayyim

Torah’s Sake in the Works of Rabbi Hayyim of Volozhin and His Contemporaries
[Hoboken, NJ: Ktav, 1989]). - Greenberg, “Commentator,” 235, 241 – 42; Greenberg, “Exegesis,” in Studies
