    Your surroundings always affect you. So if you live in a place where vanity is a huge focus and everyone around you cares about that, it might slowly affect the person...

    Meaning is self-absorption contagious? A vain person wants an entourage; is the entourage vain? Not if they are being an entourage.

A dozen. two dozen..there is no value for Shabbat. Maybe he should just buy them all? In the end he bought three roses; one for each of the avot, which in turn correspond to the three meals of Shabbat. The greatness of Shabbat is often ignored, trampled on. R'Pincus explains tha...
