הגדרה (אנגלית)

Man should strive to love the poor as he loves himself. There is a great commandment in the Torah and in morality that obliges us to act according to the principle of loving our fellow beings, and helping the poor. A proverb like this: "What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor."

("You shall not oppress or defraud the children of your people, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself, I am the Lord" - and he reads 19:18, and so on: "And you shall love your neighbor as yourself" - Rabbi Akiva Omer says: "This is a great commandment in the Torah" - Midrash Safra, Holy Scriptures, and so on: "And he answered all his questions with a generous spirit, and taught him the Torah of the Lord in words that were close to his mouth and in his heart, "And you shall love your neighbor as yourself!" - Abraham Mapu/Ayit Tsavoa, 72, and so on: "Not only is there a firmness in 'and you shall love your neighbor as yourself', we are obligated to tell those who come: Son of man, you are my brother" - Herzl/Altneuland, 205)
