DEUTERONOMY | 6:5 love — DEUT215 In general, the Talmud demands high stand...

DEUT215 In general, the Talmud demands high standards of the Torah scholar, so that the Almighty's name not be profaned. "You shall love the Lord your God [this verse]: Let the Name of Heaven become beloved through you. For [a person] should read Scripture and study and serve Torah scholars, and his dealings with people should be pleasant. What will people then say? ' Happy is the father, happy is the rabbi, who taught him Torah. See how becoming are his ways, how refined his behavior.'… But if someone reads Scripture, studies, and serves Torah scholars, and then his dealings with people are not in good faith, his conversation is not pleasant--what will people say of him then? ' Woe to this one who study Torah; woe to his father and rabbi who taught him. Now that he has learned Torah, see how spoiled is his behavior, how reprehensible are his ways…'" (T.B. Yoma 86a) And again the Sages say, "Whichever Torah scholar eats excessively anywhere, thus profanes the Name of Heaven, his teacher's name, and his father's name" (T.B. Pesahim 49a). (Continued at [[NUM82]] Numbers 11:22 enough SINAI2 44).
