Yirmiyahu 9:22-23 says: “Thus says Hashem, "Don't let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, don't let the rich man glory in his riches. But, let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows Me, that I am Hashem who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth, for in these things I delight," says Hashem.”
This episode discusses the following question: Why should a person praise himself (glory) in anything at all? To answer, we briefly address the Rambam (last chapter of Morah), give Rabbi Zimmer’s explanation, and then discuss the importance of praising one’s self—and doing so appropriately.
