Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Chapter 3 19
…and everything depends on the majority of good deeds
Up to now, we have only explained how a person comes to the first two levels of conditional love, but we have yet to investigate how a person can come to relate to the Creator according to the two levels of unconditional love. In order to reach clarity on this issue, we must first study the following Talmudic passage:
“The Tanna said, ‘A man should always consider himself as if he is half liable and half meritorious. If he does one mitzvah, he should be happy that he titled the balance to the side of merit. If he does one sin, woe to him that he tilted the balance to the side of liability. As Scripture reads, “One sinner can destroy much” (Eccles. 9:18).’
