Derech Eretz

Or the Jewish way of life from a birth up to last hour from TaNakH, Talmud, Midrashs and books of great teachers of a Torah

Look inside 

Dereh eretz Cadmus le Thor, that is preceded by the giving of the Torah. Jewish sages have said that the prescriptions "Dereh eretz" were given to the first man, Adam (Vayikra Rabbah 9:3).

The literal meaning of these words - the Earth's path. It's a way of life when a person is at peace with yourself and the people around him. These are the rules of morality, which he received from his parents and teachers. This is the ability to sleep and eat, dress and talk, work and play, learn and teach, to love and hate, the ability to enjoy the benefits of this world and the ability to serve the public.

We must strictly follow the rules Dereh eretz, as an example for others, and our transgressions disgrace not only ourselves, but our entire nation.

These rules include not only instruction about etiquette and manners, but also ethical principles according to which it is better to be among the persecuted and humiliated, than in pursuing and degrading (Rambam, geom 5).

It rules the relationship between men and women, between the children and their parents, between teachers and students, between those who command and those who fulfill orders.
A man came into the world as the host, and not as a robber, and when he grows up and begins to understand their teachers, must learn and execute these rules to the last hour of his life. As it is said, "What people are satisfied, and that Gd is happy, but the people who do not like and do not like to Gd" (Avot 3:10).

The first part of this book - Dereh Eretz Zoot.

The treatise "Dereh Eretz Zoot" entered the section "Nezikin" Babylonian Talmud (Bavli). Here we found the advice and guidance to improve our moral and spiritual qualities. They were designed in the same years when the Talmud was created and edited and recorded during the Gaon.
This treatise continues the theme of the earlier books: "Proverbs" and "Pirkei Avot".

The second part of the book - The Way of Earth.

Many things we learned from the Tanakh and Talmud, of the books "Dereh Eretz Rabba" and "Zoot Dereh Land", from Midrash, from the "Mishneh Torah" Rambam, from the book by Rabbi Yehoshua Bar-Chaim Yisrael "Comrade Joshua."

The Talmud, Midrash and our great teachers passed these rules to succeeding generations.

This rule nutrition and healthy lifestyles. Even before his death, a person must follow certain rules in order not to disgrace his name and lived life.

We propose to go all the way this earth and reap the benefits of the gift left to us by previous generations.
