Ways of the Torah in the relationship between people
As it is impossible to fulfill the commandments of the Torah without a detailed study them on Shulhan Arukh (Code of Jewish Law, compiled in the XVI century, Rabbi Yosef Karo and accepted by Jews all over the world), just can not behave in life and build relationships with people in the spirit of the Torah, with dignity and correctly, without having to learn her life dictated by the rules and principles that make up all together Derech Eretz, in a literal translation - "the way of the land."
The expression indicates that the "path" is already laid, and the choice of ethics is not the prerogative of the individual. Ignorance of the same general rules or parts may lead to serious mistakes in dealing with other people, and even a person with knowledge of the Torah, is not free from them.
The book contains materials on the topic from different parts of the Talmud, "small tracts" midra-necks and other sources. We hope that it can help the reader can acquire basic knowledge in the field of human relations, and successfully applying them in practice to achieve a great goal: "To gain favor in the eyes of God and men."
This book is named in the original Darko Noam, which means "Little Way" (Proverbs 3:17), because the behavior in the spirit of the Torah implies, on the one hand, calm and restraint, and on the other - good manners, inner and outer beauty in everything we do. And all this is achieved peace, true peace, which states: "In the world, there is nothing instead of a blessing" (at the end of the treatise Uktsin).
