Jews combating injustice | Resources

Those are the things



THE FOLLOWING ARE THE THINGS FOR WHICH NO DEFINITE QUANTITY
IS PRESCRIBED:

THE CORNERS [OF THE FIELD]. FIRST-FRUITS, [THE OFFERINGS
BROUGHT] ON APPEARING [BEFORE THE LORD AT THE THREE PILGRIM FESTIVALS].

THE PRACTICE OF LOVINGKINDNESS,

AND THE STUDY OF THE TORAH.

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE THINGS FOR WHICH A MAN ENJOYS THE FRUITS IN THIS
WORLD WHILE THE PRINCIPAL REMAINS FOR HIM IN THE WORLD TO COME:

THE HONOURING OF FATHER AND MOTHER,

THE PRACTICE OF CHARITY,

AND THE MAKING OF PEACE BETWEEN A MAN AND HIS FRIEND;

BUT THE STUDY OF THE TORAH IS EQUAL TO THEM ALL.
