Book excerpt: Orchot Tzaddikim - Ways Of The Righteous, is a book on Jewish ethics written in Germany in the 15th century, entitled Sefer ha-Middot by the author, but called Orḥot Ẓaddiḳim by a later copyist. Under this title a Yiddish translation, from which the last chapter and some other passages were omitted, was printed at Isny in 1542, although the Hebrew original did not appear until some years later (Prague, 1581). Subsequently, however, the book was frequently printed in both languages. The author of the work is unknown, although Güdemann (Gesch. 3. 223) advances the very plausible hypothesis that he was Lipmann Mühlhausen.Most of the book is not original writing; it is following the order of "The Improvement of the Moral Qualities" by Solomon ibn Gabirol, adding paragraphs from many of Maimonides' works, and ideas from the famous ethical writings "Shaarei Tshuva" (by Rabbenu Yona of Gerona) and Chovot HaLevavot.The Orḥot Ẓaddiḳim, which was designed to be a very popular code of ethics, contains the following maxims among others: "It is evil pride to despise others, and to regard one's own opinion as the best, since such an attitude bars progress, while egotism increases bitterness toward others and decreases thine own capability of improvement" (ch. 1)."Be just and modest in association with others, and practice humility even toward the members of the household, toward the poor, and toward dependents. The more property thou hast, the greater should be thy humility, and thy honor and beneficence toward mankind" (ch. 2)."Be kind to thy non-Jewish servants; make not their burdens heavy, nor treat them scornfully with contemptuous words or blows" (ch. 8)."Forget not the good qualities thou lackest, and note thy faults; but forget the good that thou hast done, and the injuries thou hast received" (ch. 20)."Abash not him who hath a bodily blemish, or in whose family there is some stain. If one hath done evil and repented, name not his deed in his presence, even in jest, nor refer to a quarrel which has been ended, lest the dead embers be rekindled" (ch. 21).In ch. 27. the author bitterly attacks the pilpul method of study, reproves his countrymen who engage in this method of Talmud study, and reproaches those who neglect the study of the Bible and of all sciences.According to Rabbi Gil Student, "Orechos Tzadikim is an anonymous mussar sefer that has enjoyed a lasting impact on Judaism. It is surprising that the sefer was never attributed to anyone...we can state with certainty is that the author lived in or after the early 14th century. Despite being influenced by the German Chasidim, he was a follower of the French Ba'alei Ha-Tosafos. We can suggest that the author lived in the late 14th century in France or among French exiles, but not in Germany or Spain. There is speculation that the book was authored by a female, owing to the author's heavy reliance on biblical passages as sources and choosing to publish anonymously, though publishing anonymously may merely indicate the author's very example of character development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authored by the renowned holy Kabbalist Rabbi Yaakov Addes, shlit'a, Sefer "Divrei Yaakov Pirkei Machshava" ignites the spark in every Jewish heart to achieve love of Hashem, to cleave to Him and to His holy Torah, and to fulfill His commandments on their loftiest levels. This work emphasizes the intrinsic greatness of each and every Jewish soul, lovingly fashioned by the Hands of the Master of the World in the exalted heavenly spheres. A special chapter discusses the significance of maintaining kedusha (holiness) in every step of life, and a Jew s capacity to attain indescribable spiritual greatness and cleave to Hashem by enveloping himself in holiness and guarding his eyes from impure sights. Other chapters include a fascinating discussion of child-rearing and present foundations for educating children and developing their unique talents through consistent positive reinforcement that spurs them to soar in the spiritual levels of Torah and fear of heaven and molds them into our nation s finest. The fourth section in this work is written to Jews who face trials and tribulations in life, who have plummeted from the heights of joy and security in life to physical, material and/or spiritual abysses. This chapter fortifies them emotionally and spiritually, granting them understanding and appreciation of their true mission in this world.
