Quotes

“Righteousness is not as dependent on tefillah as it's dependent on honesty.”

Rabbi Daniel Glatstein

“People should be more careful to pay a worker on time than they are to make sure that they have a minyan in the airport.”

Rabbi Daniel Glatstein

“It's easy to be righteous in the [beis medrash]. The real elevation comes in the workplace.”

Rabbi Daniel Glatstein

“Paying people who you owe money to comes before paying money for a Sefer Torah.”

Rabbi Daniel Glatstein

Takeaways

  1. 1 Honest dealing is the core of righteousness, more than long davening or fasting. Yaakov's wealth and his righteousness both came from honest work for Lavan.
  2. 2 Money laws are mostly Torah law; many rules we are strict about are rabbinic. Rabbi Yisrael Salanter wanted learning to start with Bava Metzia, not Brachos.
  3. 3 Be more careful with money that isn't yours than with chumras like gebrokts.
  4. 4 Stretching vendor terms from 30 to 60 or 90 days forces others to borrow. Pay on time.
  5. 5 On Erev Yom Kippur Rabbi Yisrael Salanter hammered down loose nails in the shul benches - preventing damage came before extra spiritual preparation.
  6. 6 Moshe got the clearest prophecy after grazing his flock in the desert to avoid theft. Yaakov saw angels awake after 20 years of honest work.
  7. 7 Honest business wins over time: people want to deal with honest people. The Bnei Yissaschar ties honest earnings to children who stay on the path.
  8. 8 Do your hishtadlus, but income is set on Rosh Hashanah. Too much stress is a sign you're overdoing it; extra hours don't add income.
  9. 9 Don't keep chesed for Sunday mornings. Empathy at work brings blessing - Yosef became the wealthiest brother by feeling people's pain during the famine.
  10. 10 Pay what you owe before public giving - big donations can't cover unpaid debts. Tzedakah rests on being Hashem's children.
