Misplaced rage

Hi,

"The foolishness of a person warps his path, but his heart rages at Gd."

(Mishlei 19:3)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Self-incrimination and Usury

Hi,

“Rabbi Yosi taught: Come see the blindness of people who lend money for interest!

“Ordinarily, if a person calls another person “wicked,” that person will battle him to the death. These people, though, bring witneses, a scribe, and pen and ink, and write and seal a document saying, 'This person denies the Gd of Israel!'“

(Talmud, Bava Metzia 71a)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Fools rush in

Hi,

"'And Memuchan spoke before the king and the officers (Esther 1:16)'

"Why did Memuchan leap to offer counsel first? We see that a fool leaps to go first."

(Midrash, Esther Rabbah 4:6)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
