Rabbi Abraham Isaac HaKohen Kook's yahrzeit (anniversary of death) was just a few days ago, and we look at the tremendous derech eretz that he taught and exhibited.

Then, we look at what the Torah teaches about the level of respect we must have for rabbis and judges and others who are placed in leadership positions, and what feels like a throw-away phrase in Deuteronomy 17:6-7 actually reveals a surprising lesson about what a leader needs to know.

To round up the show I mention an article that has nothing to do with derech eretz, except that I invoke it by not judging the people who signed up for an upcoming mission to Mars.

It takes 8 months to get there and there is NO return trip to earth! How many have signed up for this mission to colonize Mars? Tune in and hear the surprising shocking answer.
