The Question
Editor's Note: A friend of mine asked me to complete the "Trifecta" of Shalos Seudos stories. So, here's the third thing we did to make Shalos Seudos fun at Bnai Israel.

It started out simply enough. Shmuel Itzhak had a question.  He saw it in a sefer he was reading and he wanted to see how many people in our congregation could figure out the answer. So, he had it written on the bottom left corner of our Shul's announcement sheet right before Shabbos.

A few people noticed, read it, and some found the answer. Shmuel revealed the answer to all of us as Shalosh Seudos. What made the whole thing exciting was that it grew. Soon people became engrossed in finding the answers.

Then the kids got into it. They were digging through sefarim, asking their Rebbes questions, begging for hints... The Shul was alive with kids and parents trying to one-up each other and see who could find the best answer each week. 

It was more than a little fun for our Shalosh Seudos meal. It was an activity that inspired people at any level to learn - and to learn facts they might not have looked into otherwise.

It's incumbent upon every Jew to keep learning. If you aren't always learning, you're taking a step back. Sometimes it's hard to find the inspiration to learn or the subject matter to study. Shmuel was creative enough to get lots of people interested in learning the answers to questions that were often very complicated. Any chance you get to make learning fun and open it up to more people is a chance you should take.
