Alacrity is more focused on the negative aspect of the commandments, the opposite of what vigilance focuses on. Eagerness implies “the rapidity with which one approaches a mitzvah and its rapid consummation” (Author 37). In order to achieve Alacrity, one must quickly accomplish a Mitzvah; you cannot hesitate when performing a mitzvah. Not only must someone be quick when performing the mitzvah, but they must do so with the thought that they may not have the opportunity to do so later. The important lesson that can be learned from the chapters on Alacrity is not to procrastinate. If every student could achieve Alacrity, they would turn in their homework faster and receive high grades. But, as we all know, especially you, Rabbi, many teenagers do.
