TRUSTWORTHY AGENTS

[70b middle] Gemarah: For thirty days, a messenger is assumed to carry out a specific mission. But, if more than thirty days pass and it still has not been completed, we assume that the messenger will not carry out the task that was originally requested.

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: We do not have direct control over other people’s actions. If we need something done at a particular date/time, we should do it ourselves. Pirkei Avos: “If i am not for myself, who is for me?” We should not be lazy and try to accomplish what we are able to without pushing things off so as not to forget to complete them.
