Plus, do Jewish educators overdo chavruta learning?Primary Source: Vayikra Rabbah 2:1 -- Is the study of Talmud an elitist project?Other sources mentioned: Ramban on Exodus 12:2., on Marheshvan: "Our Rabbis have already mentioned this matter when saying, “The names of the months came up with us from Babylon,” (Yerushalmi RH 1:2), since at first we had no names for the months. The reason for this [adoption of the names of the months when our ancestors returned from Babylon to build the Second Temple], was that at first their reckoning was a memorial to the exodus from Egypt, but when we came up from Babylon, and the words of Scripture were fulfilled (Jeremiah 16:14-15) from then on we began to call the months by the names they were called in the land of Babylon."Pirkei de-Rabbi Eliezer 10:7 on Jonah's midrashic tour of the sea.
