Love Hashem to the Last Breath

A teaching ofSimeon ben Azzaiשמעון בן עזאי

On the commandment to love Hashem with all your soul, Ben Azzai taught as Rebbi Akiva did: love Him even to the last breath of the soul. Many of his drashos were prompted by those of Rebbi Akiva and begin with the words, "I do not wish to oppose the interpretation of my master, but only to add to his words."
