When Hillel was asked to sum up Jewish teaching while standing on one foot, he said, “What is hurtful to you, do not do to your neighbor.” But then he added this: “The rest is commentary. Go and learn.”

Learning for what purpose?

> For personal growth

> For continuity

> So that we can walk in the world as Jews, act with hesed (kindness), and deepen our joy in Jewish living.
