RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL: RELATIONS NOT RETALIATIONS: JEWISH SPIRITUAL RENEWAL

RABBI ARTHUR SEGAL:RELATIONS NOT RETALIATIONS. JEWISH SPIRITUAL RENEWAL 
 
Shalom and a Shabbat Shalom for tonight:
 
I made a silly error in the 6th paragraph of the class, that was pointed out to me by no less than 8 of our fellow Talmidim in less than 24 hours.
 
The 11th word in the 6th para should be 'relation' and not 'retaliation.'
 
So what did I learn? Never rely on ''spell check'' when my eyes were dilated an hour before by the ophthalmologist.
 
Many Blessings, R'Arthur
Our Talmud on Derek Eretz (how we should live in RELATION  to others),  teaches "Regard as trifling the great good you did to others, and as enormous the little good others did to you."  As someone who lived the opposite way for almost a half a century, I can tell you from personal experience, that allowing the stings and arrows of others to float off our backs, and live with an armor  of Teflon, and not taking credit for any good deeds, beats a life of living where one is constantly finding fault with others, seeing others as slighting us, and then wanting news press and ataboys for the good deeds we are supposed to do.
