A learned but very stingy Jew once came to Rabbi Abraham of Stratin and said:
“They say that you, dear rabbi, give people amazing medicines and know how to heal.” Give me medicine that will teach me to fear God!
“For fear of God,” answered Rabbi Abraham, “I have no cure.” But if you want, I can give you medicine that will help you love God.
- I wish this even more! - exclaimed the scientist. - Please give it to me!
“This medicine,” answered the rabbi, “is love for one’s neighbor.”
