Hi,
"Rav Yehudah said: Three things abbreviate a person's days and years: If he is given a Torah from which to read and he refuses, if he is offered a cup [of wine or grape juice] with which to bless Gd and he refuses, and if he acts in the manner of high office."
(Talmud, Berachot 55a)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Do you have thoughts about what that third item means?
ReplyDeleteI could see it as arrogant conduct leading to a fall as punishment, or appropriate conduct leading to a fall as logical consequence. What do you think?
