Ethics of our Fathers Wisdom from the Jewish Sages and the Righteous deeper than confushus The world it stands on these main three Torah Study, advodah, and charity Yosef Ben Yochanan of righteous memory Let the poor be members of a wide open house Don’t talk too much to woman And be flabbin with the mouth Focus of the Study of Torah and the Scripts Have a feather of children, birthed from the hips And you study don’t expect a reward Fear only the One G-d that Moshe heard If your truely wise Ben Zoma Says Learn from every man what you can If you want might subdue your evil Be slow to anger and you’ll be more than Gibor As your rule own spirit you’ll accomplish more No need to seek power and control Best control your self if you want true wealth And your truly rich if you love what you have Your’ll enjoy your work and prosper on that Find your self a teacher and acquire a friend And judge all men as favorably as you can From an evil neighbor Nittai says stay away And do not abandon faith in the final judgement day Judah ben Tabbai he did say to be a judge today Look them both guilty before you find the truth once you decide and judge innocent they both be As they accepted the rebuke and how it all it all should be When your a witness be care full with your words Lest they learn to lie from you and need to carry swords Shemaiah the sage used to say love work, hate being a boss, and from the rulers stay away The Sages again said be careful with your words Lest to go in exile, with your students in herds Be careful with the name of Heaven And do do not profane As Hashem loves us all when we give respect to his Name Hillel the elder yeah he used to say Love like peace Aaron and pursue it on on Love Draw man close to the Torah that’s the metsorah When Man seeks fame and to make his name great In the end his name might get lost as part of his fate Your best to study Torah if you seek true life And respect its crown if you wanna be around And If I am not for myself then who is me And if I’m only for me, what Eye, I sigh And if not now then when? Shamaii, yeah yeah use to say study Torah every day on a schedule too Speak little, and do much, make action you Receive every man with pleasant face A smile makes goes a long way I say Rabban Gamliel Omer: find your self a teacher And run from doubt, when you give to the poor take the right percentage out Shimon and his son used to say I grew up among the sages And found nothing better than silence as the best way Study is not the most important thing But its all about action, too many words won’t bring satisfaction Shimon Ben Gamaliel said on three things Does the world stand as his torah brings On truth and and peace and justice
