Deeds, Faith and Learning

Deeds and Faith Before the Heavenly Court

Rava said: When a person is brought to judgment in the world to come, questions will be asked. "Did you conduct your affairs with integrity? Did you set aside fixed times for the study of Torah?  Did you occupy yourself with raising a family? Did you hope for Israel's redemption and for universal peace? Did you search for wisdom? Did you acquire understanding? "If the answer to these questions is "yes," but the person did not treasure reverence for the Lord, all the learning and the fulfillment of commandments are of little value.
