Question
I would like to know what constitutes excessive efforts. If I want to advertise something in several places, for how long and how many times should it be done?
Answer
Greetings, Rabbi in every place
There is no clear definition, as it depends on the level of each individual.
It is accepted from our rabbis that someone who is on a high level and for whom the truth is clear that efforts are a decree and do not bring the result, can suffice with minimal efforts.
However, someone who is not on such a level should strive according to the nature of the world, such as advertising where there are interested parties, and in places where it is most logical that it will be seen, and not try to advertise everywhere possible and less logically beneficial.
