It is very common for people to judge their self-worth and personal achievements relative to those of others. In fact, whether we like to admit it or not we may even wish that someone else achieves less so that we can be in a higher position.

The Sages of the Land of Israel (Talmud of the Land of Israel on Sanhedrin 4:14) teach us that when the Scripture states: "When the wicked perish there is joy (רינה)" ? (MISHLE 11:10), the true meaning is not that the people should rejoice when the wicked perished but "When the wicked perish there is calm".

One may be relieved when one’s oppressor is eliminated but should never rejoice. We should never get personal gain when someone else fails even if it is one’s enemy who wishes him harm. A person must measure one’s achievements against absolute standards but never against another’s.

The Middle-Child & Anti-Tzni'ut Syndrome- Negative Attention

Although tzni'ut is for men just like women, Rav Kook deals here with the sources in Yishayahu and the Talmud which deals with the special problem of lack of tzni'ut in women's dress and actions, where it's not just a problem of midot and character traits, but also can include practical, social and national ramifications, as well, which caused the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash and exile from Israel. The class continues the previous one (Ayn Aya Shabbat vi, 29), and is a must for all educators and parents of high-school aged and young adults.

"Tzniut vs. Cheap Attention"

Explaining Tzni'ut in a Modern Appealing Way of Rav Kook

Tzni'ut or humility has a bad "rap" for it goes against many "givens" of the western world. Arrogant people who depend on the approval or (often cheap) attention of others, rather than working on their inner selves, actually lose their own self, and inside feel emptiness. Humility is externally mistaken for unhappiness, just as arrogance is mistaken for happiness. This class is a must for parents and educators, especially of teenage girls, but really for everyone.

Orchot Tzaddikim

Siyum iyum of Orchot Tzaddikim

by Rav Yonatan Rozin, leading Ram in Yeshivat Ma'aleh Adumim.

The guest speaker refers to the unique chapter in Orchot Tzaddikim, not found in other works about midot, the "active" way and benefits of silence.

Rabbi Ari Shvat | Iyar 5786

"TO LIFE, TO LIFE 'LECHA'IM' "- Parshat Emor

Rav Kook innovatively explains why Kohanim are forbidden to come in contact with death and that Kabbalists say that all women are like Kohanim- for the highest level in Judaism is life. This has many interesting ramifications!
