Eat nicely!

Hi,

To preserve the honor of Torah, its representatives should not behave crudely. Therefore:

"A Torah scholar should not eat standing up, should not lick his fingers (from his food) and should not chew his cud before others."

(Derech Eretz Zuta 5)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Wisdom requires work

Hi,

"Don't [excuse yourself and] say, 'It's just that so-and-so is smart, and I am not smart.' It's that you did not apprentice yourself to scholars as he did."

(Derech Eretz Zuta 4)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
