The gedolim of the past generation who we miss so very much, and who were our best teachers taught that above all else!! Be a mentch and that is what they role modeled for everyone. In all your dealings, in all your relationships be a mentch! What is so hard about that? If you are conscientious about being a mentch at all times then you will also be conscientious about yiras shamayim and vice a versa. In every mitzvah we learn in the Torah ben adom l’chaveiroh and even in Kashrus such as why we don’t eat meat and milk together, sheluach hakan, etc. It all teaches us compassion and how to be a mentch. Why can’t we just apply what the Torah teaches us to our daily lives and learn to be a mentch?
