T108 (Tinyana) PNC - A Quarter-Hour of Pleasure for Both Worlds — Rabbeinu's Yiddish Mussar

**Pa'am echas siper mei-inyan ma'aseih bnei adam. Anah ve-amar: ha-loi ha-adam, bi-shvil ta'anug katan echad shel reva sha'ah, hu yachoil le-abeid u-le-hafsid kol ha-olam ha-zeh im ha-olam ha-ba.** *For one little ta'anug of a quarter-hour* — a man is capable of losing *the entire olam ha-zeh together with olam ha-ba*. **Ve-amar bi-leshoin Ashkenaz be-zeh ha-loshoin: "a mentsch fun ein ta'anugel vegen, fun a fertl sha'a, ken er an veren gor dem olam ha-zeh mit dem olam ha-ba."** Rabbeinu *davened the line out be-loshoin Ashkenaz* — "A man, for the sake of *one little ta'anug*, of *a quarter-hour*, can *lose entirely* his Olam ha-Zeh together with his Olam ha-Ba." **The cipher**: *15 minutes traded for shtei olamois*. The math itself is the mussar.
