Do bad midos keep us far from Hashem?





SimchaMinute
A quotation-a-day by Rabbi Avigdor Miller

If a man is ill in his midos (character), then whoever he talks to, he’s going to talk to with the wrong midos, and when he talks to Hashem, he’s also talking with the wrong midos. It’s impossible to compartmentalize the mind. If he’s a baal gaava (arrogant) towards people, he’s arrogant towards Hashem, too. — Face of Hashem in Marriage (#E-188)

Chovos Halevavos has become the foundation for Jews in their service of Hashem. Great Torah luminaries, e.g. Rabbi Yosef Karo, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, the Vilna Gaon and Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk immersed themselves in the sefer and encouraged others to do likewise. Simchas Hachaim Publishing is publishing Chovos Halevavos with Rabbi Avigdor Miller’s insights.
