Borrowing on Divine credit for a mitzvah?

Hi,

"Rabbi Yochanan cited Rabbi Eliezer, son of Rabbi Shimon:

"Gd told Israel: My children! Borrow on My credit, and sanctify the sanctity of the day [Shabbat/Yom Tov]. Trust Me, and I will pay for it."

אמר רבי יוחנן משום רבי אליעזר ברבי שמעון: אמר להם הקב"ה לישראל: בני, לוו עלי וקדשו קדושת היום, והאמינו בי ואני פורע. 

(Talmud, Beitzah 15b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Hi,

"Rav Natan bar Abba said, citing Rav: One who jealously scouts the table of others, lives in a world of darkness, as it is written (Job 15), 'He wanders for bread - where is it? He knows that the day of darkness is ready at hand.'

"Rav Chisda added: His life is not life."

(Talmud, Beitzah 32b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Hi,

"It is written (Deuteronomy 13), 'And Gd will give you mercy, and have mercy upon you.'

"From this we see that if a person is merciful upon others, it is known that he is a descendant of our ancestor Avraham. If he is not merciful upon others, it is known that he is not a descendant of our ancestor Avraham."

(Talmud, Beitzah 32b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
