Rabbi Joseph Telushkin tells of a significant insight he gained from his grandfather, Rabbi Nissen Telushkin. The Elder Rabbi frequently reminded people:
“Don’t be so concerned with being humble that you try to hide from others all knowledge of the good you do. It is good to be known as being something of a tezaddik. If nothing else, you’ll be afraid to do something bad because you’ll fear that it will become known and will harm your good name.”
