The victim of anger

Hi,

"Anger is bad for the angry person, himself... There is no greater harm for a person than being angry, as the Sages point out (Talmud, Nedarim 22a) that anger causes a person to forget his Torah knowledge and to become foolish, and it causes many more negative results as well."

(Comment of Maharal to Avot 2:10)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Gd and Evil

Hi,

A provocative statement:

"All is envisioned by Gd beforehand; even the evil which Gd does not want to take place is foreseen...and Gd gives permission for that to occur, too."

(Maharal on Pirkei Avot 3:15)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
