Slow Steps - R. Don Jarashow - TorahAnytime.com

on what does it mean? So literally translated means to be patient means to go slow patient in judgment and this would seem to be a mandate to be to people of authority to Rabanim. But what does it have to do with all of us? So Revol explains that there is definitely a personal message for all of us.
