The world stands upon three things: Torah, Temple service, and practicing acts of piety.

“Shimon the Righteous was among the last of the men of the Great Assembly. He used to say: The world stands upon three things: the Torah, Temple service, and practicing acts of piety.”

Tractate of Avot 1:2

The world exists thanks to three things-the Torah, both written and oral; our inner work and connection with God; and kind deeds for our fellow human beings. All these bring us closer to the source of abundance and righteousness.

Saintliness is achieved when we overcome negativity and possess absolute certainty that the light of the Creator informs every thought and every deed.
