Positive Mitzvah 245

13 Kislev, 5785 - December 14, 202415 Kislev, 5785 - December 16, 2024


This is not an error of duplication. The full-fledged version of this Mitzvah are many and change for those who are learning the one/three chapter a day. The Message for the day from "Bringing Heaven Down to Earth" at the end of this Mitzvah is different than that of yesterday.
Positive Mitzvah 245: Conducting Business
Leviticus 25:14 "And if you sell something to your neighbor, or buy something from your neighbor"

The Torah deals with every aspect of our lives; not only with the way we pray and study, but also the manner in which we carry out our business.

This Positive Mitzvah establishes guidelines for our business dealings and governs the way we buy, sell, and transfer ownership of property.

These guidelines include writing business contracts, paying for goods with money, or exchanging one item for another.


The best strategy for reducing quarrels is that proposed by wise King Solomon, "A gentle reply defuses wrath." When you can give in, give in. And on those matters that you cannot concede -- avoid making a major issue out of them. Be pliant in the wind like a reed, and not hard and brittle like a cedar. When your spouse will see you are not interested in making battle, but return bullets with flowers, cannon fire with sweetness, slowly, slowly the warfare will let up and you'll be able to sit and amicably work out the real issues.
