Talmud su Pirkei Avoth 1:2

שִׁמְעוֹן הַצַּדִּיק הָיָה מִשְּׁיָרֵי כְנֶסֶת הַגְּדוֹלָה. הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר, עַל שְׁלשָׁה דְבָרִים הָעוֹלָם עוֹמֵד, עַל הַתּוֹרָה וְעַל הָעֲבוֹדָה וְעַל גְּמִילוּת חֲסָדִים:

Shimon Hatzaddik fu l'ultimo degli uomini della grande assemblea [e la tradizione (hakabalah) rimase nella sua mano. Era sommo sacerdote dopo Esdra.] Non voleva dire [(E così tutti i "R. Ploni dice" e "Non voleva dire" in questo trattato sono intesi come "Questo è ciò che direbbe sempre"). ]: Il mondo si basa su tre cose [vale a dire, il mondo è stato creato solo per queste tre cose]: sulla Torah [(Shabbath 88a) Se Israele non avesse accettato la Torah, il cielo e la terra non sarebbero stati creati, come è scritto (Geremia 33:25): "Se non fosse per la Mia alleanza (della Torah), giorno e notte, gli statuti del cielo e della terra che non avrei fatto"], su avodah [il servizio sacrificale. Perché così apprendemmo nel trattato Ta'anith (27b): se non fosse per il ma'amadoth (gli "orologi" ai servizi sacrificali), il cielo e la terra non potevano resistere. E scopriamo che a causa dei sacrifici offerti da Noach, giurò che non avrebbe mai più portato un diluvio sul mondo—da cui vediamo che il mondo persiste a causa dei sacrifici] e sulla gentilezza amorevole, [come è scritto (Salmi 89: 3): "Il mondo è costruito sulla gentilezza amorevole". La gentilezza amorevole consiste nel: gioire dello sposo, consolare i lutto, visitare i malati, occuparsi dei morti e simili.]

Jerusalem Talmud Taanit

Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Yasa: The world only continues to exist by the sacrifices133In the absence of a Temple, this means that the daily recitation of the rules of daily sacrifices are necessary for the continued existence of the world. In Amoraic times this implied that the institution of the rules for bystanders to be explained in the following Halakhot was still followed, continuing the cycle of priestly watches uninterrupted theoretically from the time of Ezra (or practically from Hasmonean times.). There, we stated134Mishnah Avot 1:2.: “Simeon the Just was of the remainders of the Great Assembly. He used to say, the world continues to exist by three things, by the Torah, by worship, and by labors of love135Labors for which no thanks can be given, such as burying the dead or giving charity anonymously.” All three are in one verse136Is. 51:16.: I shall put My word in your mouth, that is Torah. By the shadow of My hands I shall cover you, these are labors of love; to teach you that he who is occupied with Torah and labors of love merits to dwell in the shadow of the Holy One, praise to Him. That is what is written137Ps. 36:8., how precious is Your grace, o God, and humans take shelter in Your wings’ shadow. To plant the Heavens and give foundation to the earth136Is. 51:16., these are the sacrifices, and to say to Zion, you are My people, these are Israel. Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappa said, we went over all of Scripture and only found this one that Israel was called Zion, and to say to Zion, you are My people. There, we stated138Mishnah Avot 1:18. The following text shows that the verse quoted at the end was not part of the Yerushalmi Mishnah (and is not part of Maimonides’s autograph Mishnah.): “Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, the world is existing on three things, on justice, on truth, and on peace. All three are one: If justice is done, truth is accomplished. If truth is accomplished, peace is established. Rebbi Mana said, and all are in one verse139Zach. 8:16., judge truth and law of peace in your gates.
