daf bit: Nedarim 20
Jan. 10th, 2008 09:05 amIt was taught: Shamefacedness leads to fear of sin; thus
it is a good sign if a man is shamefaced. No man who experiences
shame will easily sin, and he who is never shamefaced certainly
had no ancestors present at Sinai. (20a)
(Aside: this is not giving permission to go out and cause shame in others.)
