Why would 24,000 talmidim of Rabbi Akiva — great men of Torah — be lost over something that seems so simple: a lack of respect?

This powerful shiur uncovers what kavod really means, and why it is far more than just good manners. Through Chazal, real-life examples, and sharp insight, Rabbi Shafier will reveal why respect is a foundational principle that shapes our relationships, our growth, and our avodas Hashem.
