Daily Quote
How can a person "walk after G-d", who is described as a "devouring fire"? But the meaning is to follow the ways of the Holy One. G-d clothes the naked; so should you, too, clothe the naked. G-d visits the sick; you, too, visit the sick. G-d comforts mourners; you, too, comfort mourners. G-d buries the dead; you, too, bury the dead.
–Talmud, Sotah 14a
