However, I'm not there yet and my "yeish" still likes to hear compliments. <BR/><BR/>A Talmid,<BR/><BR/>I think I might have heard that vort from the Maharal years ago, but thank you for reminding me of it!<BR/><BR/>-Dixie YidDixieYid (يهودي جنوبي)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03713423988723533390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-53624895324474975052007-10-17T11:30:00.000-04:002007-10-17T11:30:00.000-04:00The vort about Boruch Shem I have heard mentioned ...The vort about Boruch Shem I have heard mentioned as being based on the Maharal, who asks why by Yakov Avinu it's brought down that the malachim of Eretz Yisreol were leaving and those of Chutz La'aretz were coming - he was still in Eretz Yisroel when this happened. The Maharal answers that he was heading to Chutz La'aretz, therefor it's as if he's there already and that's why the Eretz Yisroel malachim left and the Chutz La'aretz malachim came.A Talmidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236360333220393398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-69112863770620144332007-10-17T07:21:00.000-04:002007-10-17T07:21:00.000-04:00While I can't say I dislike compliments (I am huma...While I can't say I dislike compliments (I am human afterall), I often prefer criticism since it helps me stay on track. If someone simply tells me that they think what I am doing is good, this doesn't really help me. What helps me is when people point out my problem areas, my mistakes, or my misguided notions.A Simple Jewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04158902792838896670noreply@blogger.com
