Pesachim 113: The Harlots' Cobblers

More sage advice. Rav's points include using animals barks and neighs as indicators of protection in the given locale (reminiscent of the animals at the beginning of Berakhot determining the watches of the night). Plus a mayor should not also be a doctor. Plus do not marry 2 women, or if you do, make sure you also marry a third. Also, business advice from Rav for a son who was not such a student. Plus, a focus on date beer. [Who's Who: R. Pappa] Also, praise to a bachelor who lives in a city, yet keeps himself from falling into sin (with 2 different reads of this text by us). And a more extreme case, about the shoemakers of prostitutes. Also, don't be a hypocrite. Come forward to give testimony. But not if you're the only witness, which gets interesting - including when hate is allowed. With no whitewashing, which itself is a strong message by the sages. And, finally, 7 ways of conduct that are not praised by the heavens.
