Be A Mentsch - The Miami Boys Choir

5 minutes left to the test. Avner, please. Avner, what are you doing? I needed an eraser. But Glenn, don't you see that the test is in progress? You know, Avner, you you eat your way through Chumash, and you sleep your way through Gemara shiur, and now you're creating a stir when other boys are trying to concentrate. When are you going to start taking things seriously? When are you going to start being more of a mensch? Mensch? I know about being a mensch. You know about being a mensch? Ah, Yevgeny, let me tell you. I'll tell you what it means to be a mensch. A mensch means to be a man. It means to be a person. It means to be someone When a boy just eats his lunch while learning here, we say When we see someone disturbing everyone, we'll say Doesn't really matter who you are. You must try to be a shining star. And you see things just are not the same when carrying Viners name. Be a mensch. Be a mensch. Be a mensch. If you're brave when you're challenged, maybe friends. You just simply can't neglect crucial matters to reflect. That's the key, don't you see? Be a mensch. Do you think this is how you should walk? Now be careful and watch how you talk. You just have to define where you've got to draw the line. You must learn how to turn into a mensch. Shouting should be kept under lock and key. Think of your friends as they are all above. Acting without thought or care is fine for some. But that's not what you're taught. Give it thought. A mensch is someone who really cares. I don't know what I've done. I'M NOT HURTING ANYONE. WHY ARE YOU MAKING such a riot? I was being rather quiet, and I like to do my work, but still have fun. How am I so much different from them? But I'm always here on time. That's enough to make me cry. >> No, your case is just too feeble to defend. Don't you see your actions might just set you back. Remember you must work until you get the knack. The proper decorum is the thing you lack. With the stress, self-confidence, and progress, and that, my friend, is a mensch. Sitting in the teacher's chair or acting without care. Whether on a bus or train or standing in the rain. Forgetting what's around you. Doing without thinking. When you're not a mensch, it really shows. It's something that everyone knows. Be a mensch. Be a mensch. Be a mensch. If you're neat, intelligent, maybe friends. You just simply can't neglect social matters to reflect. Okay, hand in your papers.
