(I) LETTER OF SHIM'ON KEFA TO THE KEHILLAH 5

5 Likewise, bochrim (young men), be submissive to the Zekenim (Elders) and clothe yourselves in the kaftan of anavah (humility) toward one another, because IM LALETZIM HU YALITZ V’LA’ANAYIM YITEN CHEN*5:5 Prov 3:34 (Indeed Hashem scorns the scorners, but gives grace to the humble).

6 Therefore, be humbled under the mighty hand of Hashem, that you may be exalted in due time. 7 HASHLECH AL ADONOI Y’HAVECHA V’HU Y’CHALKELECHA*5:7 Ps 55:23 (Cast your care on Hashem and He will sustain you), because Hashem cares and is concerned about you.
