About this listen
Speech flows from the soul. The urge to speak negatively about others often comes from a need to feel superior. That’s why the real battle isn’t against words – it’s against ego. Pirkei Avot offers a counter-force that can change your life.
In exploring this, in the context of this week’s parsha - Tazria-Metzora - Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein explains why Pirkei Avot — the foundational book of Jewish ethics — doesn’t even mention focus on the halachic prohibitions of gossip and verbal harm. Instead, it takes us to the root of the issue: the character traits that cause us to look down on others in the first place.
Drawing from profound Torah sources — including Pirkei Avot, Ramban and Vilna Gaon, — Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein explores how the pursuit of honour, arrogance, and feelings of superiority corrode our interactions. And how acts of genuine respect are the first, most powerful step toward transforming how we treat others — and ourselves.
Listen now for a Torah approach to respect, humility, and the spirit of God in every person. #TorahEthics #JewishValues #Respect
