הִגִּיד לְךָ אָדָם, מַה-טּוֹב; וּמָה-יְהוָה דּוֹרֵשׁ מִמְּךָ, כִּי אִם-עֲשׂוֹת מִשְׁפָּט וְאַהֲבַת חֶסֶד, וְהַצְנֵעַ לֶכֶת, עִם-אֱלֹהֶיךָ
God has told you, O people, what is good, and what Adonai requires of you: only to do justice, and to love goodness, and to walk modestly with your God. [JPS translation. Edited for gender neutrality]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. How would you define each of these terms? Can you think of an example of how we would fulfill these commands?
2. How are these three ideas related? In what ways to they reinforce each other? In what ways do they conflict?
3. Why do you think G-d would want these three things from us?
