It’s Beneath My Dignity | Rabbi Moshe Tuvia Lieff

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Vayimaen’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] Hashem has lofty and great expectations for us. Not just to be honest and righteous and good, but to be holy. The expectation is that we are to be holy just as holy. And there's even a thought that we could mirror Hashem's holiness. How does a person become holy? The says I'll be sanctified within the ranks of I'll be sanctified within the ranks of Israel. So, not by abstaining but by elevating not by becoming dignified means it's beneath my dignity. Everyone has a level of dignity. A Jew has to fly above the brambles not to get snagged, but beneath the radar. I guarantee you more of a Yash never tore into a pastrami sandwich or baby lamb chops.
