Respect - aphorisms, catchphrases, phrases, sayings. Respect for the sages of the Torah Quotes about respect for elders
Anyone who is present at the Torah lesson, where they teach about what he has already heard, let him not say: “We have already heard this!”, But keep silent and continue to listen
The principle of the commandment
1. Respect for the sages of the Torah is the imperative commandment of the Torah, and it is a great sin to ridicule or hate them, and because of this sin Yerushalayim was destroyed. Therefore, one who sees a sage who is unkempt should treat him with the same respect.
2. One who shows respect for the sages of the Torah acquires awe of Heaven and is rewarded with the fact that his sons and the husbands of his daughters will also be sages. And this is true even if he himself is not worthy of this.
Those who host the sage of the Torah and who try to benefit him from their property are like those who make a grateful sacrifice, and the meal arranged for the sage is considered a commandment.
3. Talk to a sage in a calm, respectful tone. And it would be more correct to refer to him as "you".
4. Those who are present at the Torah lesson, where they teach about what he has already heard, let him not say: “We have already heard this!” - but keep silent and continue to listen.
Also, if a person is in a hurry, he should not make signs to the teacher that he would finish as soon as possible, but let him come out himself, showing respect.
Duty to get up
5. To stand before the sage of the Torah is also an imperative commandment, even if the sage is still young. The elder should be respected and honored more than anyone else.
Some write that a person must get up and continue to stand every time the sage passes next to him in the vicinity of four cubits, and even if this happens several times a day, except for the case when he himself is not engaged in Torah at that time. In the Ashkenazi community, it is considered sufficient to do this twice a day. A sage should not inconvenience the community. Therefore, it is credited to him if he tries not to pass next to people.
6. Two sages of the Torah who study together must also stand in front of each other, or at least show signs of respect. Some write that every time it seems possible, out of respect for the Torah, it is more correct to get up.
7. Some believe that the obligation to stand before the sage also applies to a woman who is versed in the Torah, and perhaps this is also a commandment from the Torah. And also before the wife of the sage, according to some halachic authorities, there is a duty to get up from the Torah, since she has the same status as the sage. Others believe that this duty is the decree of the sages, or, according to some opinions, only a rule of conduct for a pious person.
8. You should get up only if the sage is within a radius of four cubits from the seated person, and you cannot get up earlier so that it is clearly visible that the person is getting up precisely because of this.
Likewise, out of respect for the sages of the Torah, one should get up at the sight of a sage entering the room. And even if he is not going to approach the seated one.
9. When a sage approaches a person and he gets up, he should continue to stand until the sage sits down in his place.
If the sage is not going to sit down, for example, if he is giving a lesson or praying while standing, then the one who is standing can sit down.
Note: You should also stand in front of a blind sage, despite the fact that the sage does not know about it.
How to get up
10. One should stand before the sage of the Torah so that it is clear that he is getting up precisely out of respect for him. Therefore, if at this very moment the person who stands up needed to take a book or tie a lace and he did it, there is a doubt whether he has fulfilled the commandment of honoring the sage. Therefore, after he gets up, he should sit back, and only then do what he wanted.
Likewise, if a person was going to leave: he should first sit down and only then go.
11. Some believe that one should stand up to full height, not leaning on any objects. There are, however, those who allow leaning, and therefore an old or weak person can rely on this opinion.
Who should and who shouldn't get up
12. Those who practice the Torah are also obliged to stand before the sage. However, if it interferes with his studies, then it should not. The one who sits and holds the Torah scroll should remain seated, even if he himself wanted to get up. The same rule applies to the one who holds Khumash in his hands.
There are those who believe that the groom within seven days after the wedding is not obliged to stand before the sage, since the groom is like a king.
13. During morning prayer, if a person reads Psukei de Zimra, he is obliged to stand before the sage. The halachic authorities were divided on the question of whether one should stand up while reading the Shema and the blessings associated with it.
If a person sits, dressed in a tallit and tefillin, and simply reads the Psalms, he is undoubtedly obliged to stand in front of a sage or elder passing in front of him.
14. A person engaged in any business is not obliged to interrupt his occupation and get up, but he still has to show some sign of respect.
15. In the bath or toilet there is no obligation to stand in front of the sage. But in the dressing room, this obligation remains.
There are, however, those who believe that the responsibility lies only with the one who sits in the clothes.
16. A sick person or a grieving person (God forbid) is not obliged to stand before a sage. If they themselves wanted to get up, some believe that this is their right. In any case, it would be right for them to get up a little as a sign of respect.
With regard to the blind, the opinion was divided as to whether he should stand before a sage who is not his main teacher.
Support of the sages
17. The imperative commandment from the Torah is to help the sages who practice the Torah. And this includes helping the rabbis of the communities and the ruling Alahu so that they can study the Torah of the Almighty, teach it to others and approve the laws, and this is the best fulfillment of the commandment "Tsedaka".
And a special duty is to delight them on the days of the Holidays, when the burden of Halachic issues related to the Holidays falls on them.
18. According to some opinions, even a person who cannot teach the Torah himself, but helps the sages of the Torah to teach it, is counted as if he is studying the Torah himself.
However, one who has the opportunity to learn, but is content with only supporting the sages, does not fulfill the commandment to study the Torah.
19. And the commandment to support Torah students is preferable to the commandment to write a Torah Scroll, and therefore one can sell Torah Scrolls or even synagogues in order to pay for the maintenance of the Torah sages.
And it is important that for the sake of the commandment to study the Torah, you can spend more than a fifth of your property.
20. There is a great reward for those who support the wise men in the Land of Israel, and by this he also fulfills the commandment to populate the land of Israel, because the main purpose of the commandment is to study the Torah and commandments in the Holy Land.
It is more correct, however, to spend money on supporting Torah students than on moving to the Land of Israel.
21. A special merit is the full provision of the sage with everything he needs. There are, however, those who argue that supporting a ten-person yeshiva is equally preferable, even if each of them gets a little bit.
22. The person with whom the miracle happened will separate the tsedaka as much as he can, give it to the students of the Torah, and say: “Here I am giving this tsedaka. And may it be the Will of the Almighty, so that it will be credited to me instead of the grateful sacrifice that I should have given during the time of the Temple. "
Honoring the teacher and mentor
23. A person is obliged to honor his teacher and to tremble before him, so that there is “a thrill before the teacher, like a thrill before Heaven”. And that includes the responsibility to stand in front of him, speak to him in a respectful manner, not sit in his place and not bicker with him.
In this case, we are talking about the teacher from whom he acquired most of his knowledge, even if it is a teacher who receives a monetary reward for his services.
24. It is impossible for a student to call the teacher by name, neither during his life, nor after death, both in his presence and not in front of him. It is permitted, however, to pronounce his name, adding before this the respectful "rav", "rabbi" and so on.
There are, however, those who believe that adding the word "rav" can only be done outside his presence.
25. A student who meets his teacher should ask about his well-being, but not like any other person is asked, but ask with dignity and respect: "Peace be with you, teacher", but there are those who say: "... teacher and mentor" ...
There are also those who believe that the student is not obliged to specially approach the teacher if he does not see him. Do not come before morning prayer to greet the Master.
26. Always let the teacher go ahead when they enter the room in which the mezuzah is hanging. And this also applies to synagogues and houses of study, even if the mezuzah does not hang in them.
There are also those who believe that the obligation to let the teacher pass in front of you is not only when you enter the room, but also when you leave.
27. If the teacher is accompanied by two students, then the older one should go to the right of the teacher, the younger one - to the left, and the teacher will walk in the middle. If the teacher goes with one student, then the student should not go to the right of the teacher. There are those who are allowed to go to the right of the teacher, a little further away.
28. A person is obliged to stand in front of his teacher, as soon as he sees him, even from afar, and will not sit down until he sees him or until the teacher sits down in his place.
Some believe that if the teacher is summoned to the Torah, then the student should stand all the time while the teacher is at the bima.
29. The one who comes to his teacher will not sit down until the teacher himself asks him to sit down. And he will not get up until he says to get up or until the student asks his permission. When he goes out, he must look towards the teacher.
If the teacher forgives and does not require such a reverent attitude towards himself, the student can sit down and get up at will, and then there is no obligation for him to stand up in front of the teacher. But still it is worth showing him respect and slightly standing up when the teacher passes by.
30. Sitting in front of a teacher should be respectful, as in front of a king, and one should not sit in a wagon or lie in his presence, unless the teacher has given him permission to do so, and everyone present knows about this permission.
31. A student is obliged to tremble before his teacher, therefore he will not sit in the teacher's place and will not reinforce his words in his presence or deny his words, not even in his presence.
If the student sees that the teacher is violating the words of the Torah, he must say to him with respect: "This is how the teacher taught us ..."
32. Do not ask the teacher a question immediately, as soon as he entered the house of teaching, and do not ask two students at the same time. You should also ask only what the teacher learns in this moment and do not ask more than three questions on one topic.
If a student doubts whether the teacher is knowledgeable about a given topic, do not ask him.
33. You can not go with the teacher in the bath, unless he needs the help of a student. If the student was already inside, and the teacher entered, then the student is not obliged to leave.
Where it is customary to wear swimming trunks - for example, at the sea or in the pool, the student can come with a teacher. In no case should you swim in front of the teacher.
34. You cannot pray while standing in front of the teacher or on the side of him, and, moreover, behind him, so that, God forbid, it would not seem that the student worships the teacher. But if the student stands at a distance of more than four cubits from the teacher, then you can.
There are those who believe that during public prayer it is allowed to pray from the side of the teacher.
35. It is allowed to put on tefillin in the presence of the teacher, but not take it off, unless he can take off his head tefillin without taking off his headdress.
The prohibition to argue with the teacher
36. The one who refutes the opinion of the teacher is like the one who challenges the Glory of the Most High. And it is forbidden for the student to enact the law in the presence of the teacher, unless he himself commanded him to do so.
Likewise, if a student mentions in the presence of a teacher what he once heard from him, he will say: "This is how the teacher taught us."
37. It is forbidden for a pupil to start teaching, to take pupils for himself and to order alahu without asking permission from his teacher. There are, however, those who believe that it is forbidden only if the disciple is going to establish alaha himself.
38. If the teacher has decreed that in any law of the Torah it is possible to facilitate, then it is forbidden for a student to intimidate in him in his presence, even if his intentions are in the Name of Heaven, unless he has direct evidence and confirmation that the law in this case will be another.
In practice, one should not argue with the teacher, even if the student has direct evidence of the correctness of the opposite opinion, except for the case when the student "learned a lot of wisdom and became on a par with his teacher."
39. The student is allowed to respectfully remind the teacher a line from the Gemara or Torah, which he forgot, because "forgetfulness concerns everyone."
But, again, in no case should this be done in order to compete with him in a better knowledge of books.
40. Anyone who offended his teacher or hurt him in some way is obliged to ask him for forgiveness even a hundred times, until he forgives. And this law applies to any sage of the Torah and every teacher of the Torah, and not only the one from whom he received the bulk of his knowledge, but also the one from whom he only heard some words of the Torah.
41. In some places there is a tradition to appoint a “Purim Rebbe” on Purim, who personifies the collective image-a parody of the head of the yeshiva and other teachers. At the same time, in a playful manner, for the sake of laughter and fun, he plays up their personal qualities and their characteristic behavior. This is a completely unacceptable tradition that needs to be eradicated, and this is not a "commanded joy", but nothing more than a "bunch of scoffers" for the sake of mockery and ridicule.
The duty to appear before the Master
42. A person is obliged to visit his teacher on the days of the Three Holidays: Pesach, Shvuot and Sukkot. And this duty is also fulfilled in the days of Hol ha-Moed.
According to some opinions, this duty can also be fulfilled within seven days after Shvuot.
43. There are, however, those who believe that in our time there is no obligation to visit the teacher, nevertheless, according to the opinion of many halachic authorities, in our time this obligation has even increased.
There is also the question of whether this duty can be fulfilled by phone calls before or after the Holiday.
44. The duty of a woman, in this case, is the same as that of a man. And if she has her own teacher, one should go to him. In any case, a married woman can only go if her husband agrees.
45. A man is commanded to stay at home on the Holidays and make his wife and children happy. There are, however, those who consider the well-established tradition to leave household members even for a few days in order to appear before their teacher.
46. If the teacher lives in the Land of Israel, and the student is outside the Land of Israel, or vice versa, then it is not clear whether in this case there is a duty to visit the teacher also on the second Yom Tov, or it concerns only the first Yom Tov, which is considered a festive one. all over the world.
Veneration after death
47. A person is obliged to show respect for his teacher even after his death. Therefore, if the teacher, God forbid, died, then the student must tear his clothes, as stipulated in this case by the law, and he has no right to sew up the gap. He becomes obliged in some other laws relating to the bereaved.
Anyone who mentions his teacher within twelve months of his death should add: "And I am the redemption of his peace."

Completely changed value
The Fool of Respect doesn't hear you. Respect is something to earn; you cannot demand it from others. To earn it, you must behave appropriately. It means speaking the truth, being accountable for your actions, and behaving with dignity, decency, and courtesy. Self-esteem is the most vital important quality... To gain respect from others, you must respect yourself. This is achievable when healthy boundaries exist in your relationship with others. Speak up when you have to speak, speak the truth with love and courage, for granted.
In what situation did you disrespect yourself? Where are your boundaries weak? In what situations can you say yes when you really mean no? Do you feel inappropriate about your health? Are you treating your mind inappropriately? Are you treating your spirit in an inappropriate way, thereby diminishing your honesty? Remember that you will not get the respect you seek by agreeing to things that belittle you.
Work together with your self. Pause and reflect on your choice. Do you honor yourself? To succeed in life, you need self-esteem above all else. Don't try to get the approval of those who don't respect you. The respect that you desire from others will be with you, do not hesitate. Remember, first of all, you need to be true to yourself.
Jester warning:
Honor not only yourself but others as well.
