Compassion: An Emulation of God’s Friendship

What is compassion really about? And why does Jewish thought consider practicing compassion as imitating the attributes of God?

In this three-part series, Three Aspects of an Ethic of Friendship, Gordon Tucker explores Jewish texts, traditions, and practices that define our obligations to one another and help us live more meaningful Jewish lives.
