The Imrei Noam relates this idea to the other two pesukim where the word “yei’omar” is used: “Al kein yei’omar b’sefer…” and “UleTziyon yei’omar ish ve’ish yulad-bo…” Making a demonstration of one’s gadlus This week's essay is can be done in the manner of Nimrod, when it could bring us to avodah zarah, but in kindly sponsored specific cases, such as in learning or when relating to children or talmidim, revealing ‫לזכוי הרבים‬ our gadlus can definitely be leto’eles.
