NEIGHBORLY NEPHEWS

[108b bottom] Mishlei [Perek27Pasuk10]: “Better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far away.”

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: We should always try to connect with and become close to those who surround us (if they are positive influences). Virtuous neighbors and righteous close family members help us grow and become better people. Looking outward can help to perfect ourselves inwardly, since clever minds (like blades) help sharpen each other. It is important to appreciate what we have right at our doorstep rather than to remain longing for what is too far away.
