Today we’re diving into Hilchot De’ot, the Laws of Character Development. Specifically Chapter 4, Halacha 1. The Rambam, citing our Sages, teaches that the ideal path is to find a middle ground in all our character traits. We shouldn’t be too stingy nor overly generous, too easily angered nor overly passive. It’s all about finding that perfect balance.

How relevant is that to our lives? We navigate a world of extremes every single day! The Rambam reminds us to strive for that golden mean, to lead balanced and meaningful lives.
