Rabbi Shimon said: Three who dine at a single table and speak no words of Torah are as though they had eaten of offerings of lifeless idols, as it is said, “For all the tables are filled with vomit and filth, when God is absent.” Yet three who dine at a single table and speak words of Torah are as though they had eaten at God’s table, as it is said, “And He said to me: This is the table that stands before the LORD.” Citation Is. 28 Citation Ezek. 41 Passage ה רַבִּי חֲנִינָא בֶן חֲכִינַאי אוֹמֵר: הַנֵּעוֹר בַּלַּיְלָה, וְהַמְהַלֵּךְ בַּדֶּרֶךְ יְחִידִי, וְהַמְפַנֶּה לִבּוֹ לְבַטָּלָה, הֲרֵי זֶה מִתְחַיֵּב בְּנַפְשׁוֹ: ה ra|BI cha|ni|NA ven cha|chi|NAI o|MER: ha|ne-OR ba|lay|LAH, ve|ha|me|ha|LECH ba|DE|rech ye|chi|DI, ve|ha|me|fa|NEH li|BO le|va|ta|LAH, ha|REI zeh mit|cha|YEV b'naf|SHO: ה rab|BI ḥa|ni|NAʾ ven ḥa|khi|NAIʾ ʾo|MER: han|ne|ʿOR bal|lay|LAH, ve|ha|me|hal|LEKH bad|DE|rekh ye|ḥi|DHI, ve|ha|me|fan|NEH lib|BO le|vaṭ|ṭa|LAH, ha|RE zeh mith|ḥay|YEV be|naf|SHO: ה rab|BI ḥa|ni|NA ven ḥa|khi|NAI o|MER: han|ne|ʿOR bal|lay|LAH, ve|ha|me|hal|LEKH bad|DE|rekh ye|ḥi|DI, ve|ha|me|fan|NEH lib|BO le|vat|ta|LAH, ha|RE zeh mit|ḥay|YEV be|naf|SHO: ה ra|BI cha|ni|NO ven cha|chi|NAI oy|MEIR: ha|nei-OYR ba|lay|LOH, v'ham'|ha|LEICH ba|DE|rech y'chi|DI, v'ham'|fa|NEH li|BOY l'va|to|LOH, ha|REI zeh mis|cha|YEIV b'naf|SHOY: 5.

Rabbi Ḥalafta ben Dosa of Kfar Ḥananya said: When ten sit together and occupy themselves with Torah, the Divine Presence abides among them, as it is said, “God stands in the divine assembly.” How do we know that this holds for five as well? From the verse, “He has founded His group upon the earth.” And how do we know it holds even for three? From the verse, “He judges among the judges.” How do we know the same holds even for two? From the verse, “Then those who feared the LORD spoke with one another, and the LORD hearkened and heard.” And how do we know it holds even for one? From the verse, “In every place in which I cause My name to be mentioned, I shall come to you and bless you.” Citation Ps. 82 Citation Amos 9 Citation Ps. 82 Citation Mal. 3 Citation Ex. 20 Passage ח רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אִישׁ בַּרְתּוֹתָא אוֹמֵר: תֵּן לוֹ מִשֶּׁלּוֹ, שֶׁאַתָּה וְשֶׁלָּךְ שֶׁלּוֹ. וְכֵן בְּדָוִד הוּא אוֹמֵר: כִּי־מִמְּךָ הַכֹּל, וּמִיָּדְךָ נָתַנּוּ לָךְ: ח ra|BI el|a|ZAR ish bar|to|TA o|MER: ten lo mi|she|LO, she-a|TAH ve|she|LACH she|LO. ve|CHEN b'da|VID hu o|MER: ki-mi|me|CHA ha|KOL, u|mi|yad|CHA na|ta|NU lach: ח rab|BI ʾel|ʿa|ZAR ʾish bar|to|THAʾ ʾo|MER: ten lo mis|shel|LO, she|ʾat|TAH ve|shel|LAKH shel|LO. ve|KHEN be|dha|VIDH huʾ ʾo|MER: ki-mim|me|KHA hak|KOL, u|miy|ya|dhe|KHA na|than|NU lakh: ח rab|BI el|ʿa|ZAR ish bar|to|TA o|MER: ten lo mis|shel|LO, she|at|TAH ve|shel|LAKH shel|LO. ve|KHEN be|da|VID hu o|MER: ki-mim|me|KHA hak|KOL, u|miy|ya|de|KHA na|tan|NU lakh: ח ra|BI el|o|ZOR ish bar|toy|SO oy|MEIR: tein loy mi|she|LOY, she-a|TOH v'she|LOCH she|LOY. v'CHEIN b'do|VID hu oy|MEIR: ki-mim'|CHO ha|KOYL, u|mi|yod'|CHO no|sa|NU loch: 8.

Rabbi Dostai of Rabbi Yannai said in the name of Rabbi Meir: Whoever forgets even a single item of his Torah learning, Scripture treats him as one who has endangered his soul, for it is said, “Only take heed, and watch over your soul with great care, lest you forget the things that your eyes saw.” One might suppose this holds even for one who finds his studies too hard to Citation Deut. 4 parent /siddur/koren-shalem.xml prev /siddur/koren-shalem/792-793-720-721-minha-for-shabbat-ethics-of-the-fathers.xml next /siddur/koren-shalem/796-797-724-725-minha-for-shabbat-ethics-of-the-fathers.xml
