Shalom and welcome back, dear listeners!
Today, let us delve into the Mishneh Torah, Hilchot De’ot, Chapter 5, Mishnah 1. The Rambam, ever practical, instructs us to emulate neither the miser nor the spendthrift. Living a balanced life is key - neither hoarding possessions nor squandering them recklessly! Instead, we are encouraged to be generous, especially towards the needy, for it is in giving that we truly receive. This delicate balance allows us to enjoy what we have while still being responsible stewards of our blessings!
