Discovering Your Real Self
On Daf 17a, we encounter the following passage, quoted in the name of Rabbi Yochanan, who made this statement when he concluded his study of the book of Job:
"Ashrei..., fortunate is he...who grew up with a good name and who took leave of the world with a good name..."
We must understand why a good name is so important. Does our reputation really matter? Why should the opinions that other people have of us be of such significance?
One of the lesser known commentaries on Maseches Brachos is penned by the famous Chassidic rabbi, Zvi Elimelech of Dinov, known by his major work, Bnai Yissaschar. The title of his two-volume commentary on our Maseches is Magid Ta'alumah.
