Shalom,   Learning the hok l’yisrael book which includes humash/bible, ketuvim,writings,mishna/Gemara, zohar, and Halacha is a good foundational starting point for anyone and is equally important for beginners and experts alike.     Also Rabbi Yehuda  lev Ashlag taught that a person should learn the inner dimension of Torah in order to unleash the true power of Torah learning which is to become a truly altruistic sharing person capable of living the precepts of the Torah with joy.   IF someone says a certain book is not for you without  you truly striving in your learning of this work you lose out.   Best Wishes——-   R.Yosef Karpman
