A Place of Torah
Ethics of Our Fathers: Avot 6:9 |
|
"If you were to give me all the silver, gold…in the world, I would not dwell anywhere but in a place of Torah. Indeed, so is written in the book of psalms by David the king of Israel: `I prefer the Torah of Your mouth over thousands in gold and silver.' (26:39) | |

Ethics of Our Fathers: Avot 6:11
Everything that G-d created in His world, He did not create but for His glory. As is stated (Isaiah 43:7): "All that is called by My name and for My glory, I created it, formed it, also I made it." And it says (Exodus 15:1): "G-d shall reign forever and ever."

Ethics of Our Fathers: Avot 6:2
Every day an echo resounds from Mt. Horeb (Sinai) proclaiming: "Woe to the creatures who insult the Torah." For one who does not occupy himself in Torah is considered an outcast.

Ethics of Our Fathers: Avot 6:5
Do not seek greatness for yourself, and do not lust for honor. More than you study, do. Desire not the table of kings, for your table is greater than theirs, and your crown is greater than theirs, and faithful is your Employer to pay you the rewards of your work.
