Cultivating Love for Torah & The Challenges of Leadership (Ethics of the Fathers 4:7, 9, 10)

The video explores Mishnah Avot 4:7, 4:9, and 4:10 through two themes: developing a genuine love of Torah and facing the pressures of leadership. It explains “do not make Torah a crown or a spade” as a call to learn for its own sake—not for status or material benefit—and reframes the Mishnah’s warning about “benefiting from Torah” as an invitation to rise above ulterior motives so Torah becomes internalized and elevating. It then offers practical ways to cultivate that love (good teachers, a study partner, disciplined time, pushing through fatigue, and leaning into areas of Torah that resonate). The video concludes by applying Avot 4:9–4:10 to leadership, describing the loneliness and friction leaders encounter, and emphasizing support systems, clarity of mission, and the need to stay humble and emotionally sensitive rather than becoming hardened or arrogant.
