There are many approaches to Torah study. My favorites are Remez–finding hints to meaning and Sod (samech daled in Hebrew, pronounced Sohd)–when the text becomes a portal of expanded, seemingly mystical, awareness.
Giving over meaningful guidance on the Torah portion during a religious service is not so much a speech as it is a mitzvah, a sacred act called “giving a d’var Torah.” A d’var, “a word” of Torah, is a brief teaching where you connect your Torah portion with the heart, mind and spirit of those present. Israelis often refer to this practice as a derasha, or drash, an “explanation” of the Torah portion.
