Day 10 - Arrogance is VERY Disliked by Hashem (Orchos Tzaddikim | Arrogance 1)

Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe Podcast Collection

Could your own success become your downfall? We traverse the treacherous landscape of arrogance in our latest episode, guided by the timeless wisdom of the Orchos Tzaddikim. The ancient texts of Deuteronomy and Psalms shine a light on this insidious trait, revealing how the illusion of self-made triumph can sever our connection with the Divine. With my great uncle, Reb Chaim Kreiswerth's life as a poignant example, we share how the fickleness of fortune serves as a stark reminder that our gifts are borrowed, not owned. This narrative is a somber meditation on the subtlety of pride and the necessity of humility in recognizing our true Source of strength and wisdom.

Embrace the virtue of humility as we scrutinize the everyday manifestations of pride that can slip unnoticed into our lives. From the way one carries oneself to the subtle responses we give to those around us, every action is a reflection of our inner state. Reb Hanina ben Tradion's daughter's story becomes a beacon, emphasizing the need for modest living and the duty of Jewish people to represent divine values. As we wrap up day 10 in our journey through the Orchos Tzaddikim, the path ahead is clear—day 11 beckons us to further refine our character, stripping away the layers of arrogance to reveal the graceful humility within.
