Question

See question above:

Just one more question, thanks. If one does not review his learning constantly and therefore forgets some of it, does he transgress the above prohibition? Should then one avert learning new topics so he wont forget the and thus violate the above prohibition?

Answer

Our Rabbonim naintain that as long as a person learns Torah in the normal, proper and established way of learning, even if he often forgets at least some of it, it is part of the normal and usual process of learning Torah. (See coming questions.)
