Another clearcut source, Avos 1:10, "Shemayah omeir: ... usena es
harabbanus..." (See also TY, Yachin Avos 1:39)
Does our not living up to this ideal delete the mishnah from the Jewish
value system? Do we "not hold like this"? Or do we simply not live up to
everything we hold important?
Or Horios 10a-b, Rabban Gamliel could only get his talmidim to accept
the job of rabbi by arguing: Kemedumin adem shesherarah ani nosein
lakhem? Avdus ani nosein lakhem!
Tir'u baTov!
