CHAG TU B'SHVAT SAMEACH!
The Torah makes you think. It takes your mind and smashes it to pieces figuritively by forcing you to think. Some huge examples include a sugya (confrontational passage) from the holy Gemara, an explanation of a word or even a single letter in a pasuk from the Torah, or the logic behind a Halacha from Shulchan Aruch, and obviously many more. An interesting halacha is the one on mezonot. Let's view the beauty behind it: There is a general rule that if you eat 216 grams of mezonot (after you said mezonot already), then you need to do netilat yadayim without the bracha and then say birkat hamazon. Now, what if its ptitim (a type of grain, like rice)? What if its regulach/cake? Now look how detailed and beautiful the hlacha breaks down (stay with me here): If the food that has a bracha of mezonot (and 216 grams or more of it was eaten) was cooked through heat, like bread which is baked by heat (like cake, burekas, regulach) then you do netilat yadayim without bracha and say birkat hamazon. BUT if its like the case of ptitim (like rice) and was cooked by water (like rice) and 216 grams+ was eaten, then you say al hamichya because it does not resemble bread like in the case of cake/burkeas.

Look at the detailed point of view of the halacha. Now imagine the deepness on things like Taharat HaMishpacha that requires knowledge about the woman's body and nature in general.

BH May we understand how lucky we are that we can have in our hands the key to all intelligence, a.k.a. the Torah HaKdosha.

Always Smile, Cuz Hashem loves you :).
