Description

We live in a culture that celebrates assertiveness, chutzpah (audacity), loudness, ego. We should have an inner sensitivity not to talk in shul which shows total lack of respect for Hashem. In the period before Moshiach, wisdom of scholars will be put down, and frum (truly religious) people will be loathed, truth will disappear, and the young will humiliate the elderly. Youngsters don't want to disgrace the elderly, but the young have no awareness that an older person is in a completely different world than them.
