Summary
Join us on this episode of Everything Jewish, 10 Minutes at a Time, as we explore one of the most famous and powerful commandments in the Torah: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' In just ten minutes, we dive into the depth of this seemingly simple verse from Leviticus, examining what it actually means according to Jewish sources — from the Talmud and Rashi to Maimonides and modern thinkers. Is it just about being nice? Does it include strangers? What about loving difficult people? We unpack the radical ethical demand this mitzvah places on us and why the sages considered it a foundational principle of the entire Torah. Discover how this single commandment has shaped Jewish values, community life, and moral thinking for thousands of years.
