Jewish Words of Wisdom

Karl Kuhn, Class of 2013, shared these words emailed to him by his friend, Bob Cohen:

THESE ARE THINGS
that are limitless,
of which a person enjoys the fruit of the world,
while the principal remains in the world to come.

They are:
honoring one’s father and mother,
engaging in deeds of compassion,
arriving early for study, morning and evening,
dealing graciously with guests,
visiting the sick,
providing for the wedding couple,
accompanying the dead for burial,
being devoted in prayer,
and making peace among people.
But the study of Torah encompasses them all.
