Reading Torah

“The beginning of compression starts with the ‘and,’ the inner, secret meaning of the Torah.   After the inner meaning it is possible to understand the ‘ drash ,’ the parables and the stories, and then after that, the ‘remez ,’ the hints.   Only after these three levels of understanding have been reached can a person comprehend the simple meaning of Torah.” –from siddur of Vilna Gaon
