Step 58 -the Bar Mitzva connection

It so happens that verse 13:13 of Mishlei is very appropriate for a Bar Mitzva speech / message.

One who is disrespectful to a matter will be injured by it - this fits with the principle of on the path ... Hashem will cause it to trip him up measure for measure.
But one who develops a proper respect for a Mitzva will become complete.
The Gra explains this with the Gemara that every part of ones body corresponds to a Mitzva of the Torah. Thus when we strive to do them all properly we develop our wholeness & completeness.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
