How to Cultivate Humility: Practical Guidelines (Part 2) Haughtiness from Beauty and Strength

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This morning (11/19/21), in our "Machshavah Lab" series for women, we continued our quest for practical guidelines on how to cultivate humility. After reviewing the sources and questions from last time, and resolving one apparent contradiction which came up, we delved into the Abravanel's ... interesting strategies for combatting arrogance. Today's session focused on two causes of haughtiness: beauty and physical strength. We certainly found what we were looking for, so much so that the shiur went 30 minutes overtime! God willing, we'll continue the series some time in the near future (but not in the next two weeks).----------מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה, ספר המדע, הלכות דעות ב:א-גאברבנאל - אבות ד:דרש"י - קהלת יב:א-חאבות ג:ארש"י - תלמוד בבלי סוטה דף י עמוד אתלמוד בבלי - נדרים דף ט עמוד בLinks to my three Rambam Bekius shiurim on haughtiness and anger: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3The Stoic Jew Podcast: On Contemptuous Expressions----------This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Shirley, and since she didn't specify a dedicatory message, then I'm going to dedicate this to the entire Sinclair family - Shirley, David, and Ken.----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
