Q:
A person who studies Gemara or Chumash and he writes down what he studies, shouldn’t that be as good as verbalizing?
A:
Is writing Torah as good as verbalizing Torah?
And the answer is no. Writing is good. And thinking is good. But talking is even better because that’s the effect of the use of the organs of speech connected to the thoughts – it’s geared to the thoughts – and together it’s the best combination. If you can write and say and think that’s the best thing of all.
