    Question for Rabbi YY

    If we know the famous statement of Derech Eretz Kodmah L'Torah, than why does the Rambam bring forth the Foundations of Torah, before presenting us the 'foundations' of Character traits?

    About being a "chosid" and going to more of a (good) extreme and not the midpath

    Lehavdil, there are orders of  monks who endure extreme types of  torture, fasting, meditation, discipline of  various sorts,fighting techniques etc whereby they become very very extreme in those aspects.
