Does God Need A Loan? - MUSSAR Pirkei Avot (48)

Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the importance of humility and the need to recognize God's supremacy in his Mussar shiur. He emphasizes the need to yield to our superiors, be pleasant to the young, and welcome every person cheerfully. He uses the example of Rabbi Akiva, who reached the highest level of Kedusha despite a challenging past, to illustrate that it's never too late to change. He stresses the significance of following the rules set forth in the Torah, and warns against the dangers of pride and self-serving motives. Rabbi Reuven also tackles the question of how to know if God has accepted our Teshuva, explaining that the ultimate answer will be revealed in the afterlife.
