Orchot Chayim - Pathways of Life

"Orchot Chayim - Pathways of Life" 
by the ROSH - acronym for Rabbi Asher ben Yechiel

"Orchot Chayim," is divided into thirty sections, which many have the practice of studying on the thirty days of Elul. These are "pathways" to sincere piety and virtuousness, the path to holiness, and the road to G-d. The ROSH tells us not just how we should act, but how to think and what are the proper attitudes of life the committed Jew just have - absolute prerequisites for proper Torah observance and practice.

“Great matters are written herein. Take them to heart”. (Harashaz of Kelm)

Never call anyone by a derogatory or offensive nickname; 
and don’t invent one for someone. 
For the one who does so has no place in the World to Come. 
Do not tell defamatory tales about other people nor listen to or even believe the veracity of gossip.
