The word of the day is “bikovidig”. Let us put it into English. It means “honorable”. We just heard that some baseball player who was paid $25 million a year has admitted to using steroids. That is not bikovidig. Sometimes you have to make choices. You are a Kohen from an illustrious family but the trust fund just ran out. You have 2 choices:
A) You can continue wearing your suit and go begging.
B) You can dress down and do some manual labor which is profitable and legitimate.
According to the Gemara B) is more bikovidig than A).
