Why should Gemarah be important for students?

September 01, 2015 02:59PM
As the new year is about to begin, I look forward to the usual questions from Junior High School students about Gemarah.

Why do we need to know this?
How will it help me in life?
I don't plan on becoming a Rabbi.
My family is not religious, what difference does it make?
Why can't we just learn the end result? Do we have to learn all the arguments?
All the Rabbis seem to do is argue all the time...who cares?

I believe these are absolutely valid questions and in fact might be the best questions students ask all year. I was wondering what others do when faced with this opportunity to make a point regarding the importance of Gemarah. How do you handle it? What is the point you try to get across?

Thank you.
