The Wise The Fool And The Showoff - MUSSAR Pirkei Avot (97)

In this shiur, Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the concept of wisdom and character traits from a Torah perspective. He emphasizes the importance of refining character traits in order to become a "learned person" or "hacham." This involves not only acquiring knowledge, but also applying it in a way that reflects positive character traits. The Mishnah highlights that one must not speak in front of someone greater in wisdom or age, showing respect and humility. Rabbi Reuven emphasizes the need to avoid speaking out of turn and to prioritize learning from those with greater wisdom and life experience. He urges to approach Torah learning with humility and readiness to take guidance from those who possess greater knowledge and experience. 00:00 Introduction.
