Rabbi Yaakov Raskin | The 10 commandments: Unlocking the key to God's heart

I had the honour of meeting Ziggy Marley in 2024. He was in Jamaica for a concert and I really resonated with his song Love is My Religion, because it reminded me of the teaching I'd heard since childhood. A man once challenged Hillel the Elder to teach the entire Torah while standing on one foot, convinced it could not be done. Hillel responded: "Love your Fellow as yourself, and the rest is commentary." (Shabbat 31a)

This story is particularly relevant as, next week on May 21 to 23, Jews around the world will celebrate the giving of the Torah during the festival of Shavuot.
