Filling God’s Demands
"You know these demands by the other pathways, also?" I asked.
"That’s correct," Rabbi Stern replied. "Obviously, if you look at human relationships and you sense what brings joy and fulfillment to other human beings, then you sense that that is what you ought to do and encourage. On the other hand, that which hurts and degrades or denies other human beings is not good. Or, when you talk about Jewish study, there is no one direction you would study. You’ve read enough of the Bible to know that there are large sections of the Bible that deal with communicable diseases. There are large sections of the Bible which deal with religious ceremony. Other large sections of the Bible deal with family relationships. Any one of those places are places to start, and if you begin to fill God’s demand in one area, this keeps leading you farther and farther and farther into an interconnected universe in some way.
