Avner, please
Avner, what are you doing?
>> I needed an eraser.
>> Avner,
don't you see that there's a test 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 being more of a
mensch?
>> Mensch? I know about being a mensch.
>> You know about being a mensch?
Uh, Yevna, 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 sheer, we say
When we see someone disturbing, everyone
will 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 Bene Zerl's name.
Be a mensch.
Be a mensch. Be a mensch.
If you're Greek or you're Belgian, 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 at a minimum.
Thinking of your friends is a rule
of thumb.
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. I WAS just
making such a riot. I was being rather
quiet and I like to do work, but still
have fun.
How am I so much different from them?
>> Some of us are good boys, some are bad.
>> But I'm always here on time. That's not
to make me cry.
>> Well, 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 derech eretz is the thing you
lack.
>> With the stress, so confess and
progress.
>> And that, my friend, is a mensch.
>> Sitting in the teacher's chair or acting
without care.
>> Not a mensch.
>> Whether on a bus or train or standing in
the rain.
>> Be a mensch.
>> Forgetting what's around you.
>> Rather a shame.
>> Doing without thinking.
>> Not a mensch.
>> When you're not a mensch, it really
shows.
>> It's time
>> to sing that everyone knows.
>> Be a mensch. Be a mensch. Be a mensch.
If you're Greek or Belgian, maybe
friends.
>> You just simply can't neglect who shall
matters to reflect.
>> That's the key of derech eretz.
>> Be a mensch.
>> Okay, hand in your papers.
