FAULTY PHANTASMAGORIA

[21b top] R’ Pappi quoting Rava: A judicial certification of a document that was written before the witnesses testify about the authenticity of their signatures is invalid because it appears like a “falsehood” [since it looks shady, even though it was not actually prepared beforehand].

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: Many times we do things that may look bad even if they are “technically” ok/Kosher. In reality, we should always try our best to avoid all things/situations that even give the impression of falsehood. By maintaining an elevated perspective our actions will ultimately lead to higher levels of Mitzvos and more holy spirituality.
