When I was younger, I
didn't understand the phrase "Judeo-Christian tradition." Now I
understand a little better. Both Jews and Christians have some common
directives, like visiting the sick. (Other religions that trace their common
origin to Abraham, including Islam and the Baha’i faith, also tell their people
to visit the sick.)
This past Monday, Sept.
29, in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,
there was a beautiful, beautiful article on visiting the sick. The article explained
how this tradition is a holy mitzvah (good deed/duty/ commandment)
of the Jewish faith.
