Pirke Avot Chapter 1 Mishna 3-6 Ethics of our Fathers

What’s said in this shiur

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

don't be like servants that they're serving their masters in order to receive a presence but rather be like to do it without receiving any rewards and you should have monash in fear of shamayim on top of you which means that there's some people they do everything for the reward right sometimes kids and this is very dangerous also to be very careful kids you're right you have to lure them with prizes with presents but not too high right why because then afterwards they'll never stop and here it says you have to become like a servant which is serving your creator not because of the war but rather not because of the ruler but you're doing it on your own not because of the reward so listen to this it's brought down in a vote chapter 5 that antignosis had to tell me that they had his words which they used to come and they used to go over his things which we're going to know and the by two cease by to see are you going to tell me that people are going to be working all day and they're not going to take anything if they would have known that there's another world they wouldn't have said such a thing fortunate is a person that he fears god and he wants them he wants to meet what he doesn't want the reward of the midfield he doesn't care about the reward he wants to be taught but then he says when you start getting in there then yes you could do it for a reward right should we talk about then he's going to start doing this just like says
