In yamim hahem (those days), again, when there was a great multitude and they had no okhel (food), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach called his talmidim, and says to them, I have rachmei shomayim (heavenly mercy, compassion) on the multitude, because they already shlosha yamim (three days) have remained with me and they do not have anything they may eat; And if I send them away hungry to their batim (houses), they will give out on the way; and some of them have come from far away. And his talmidim answered him, From where will anyone be able to find enough lechem to feed these ones here in the midbar? And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was asking them, How many loaves do you have? And they said, Shevah. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach directed the multitude to recline at tish, as it were, on the ground. And having taken the sheva kikrot (loaves), he made a bracha, saying the ha-Motzi, and offered the betziat halechem (the breaking of the bread) and was giving [them] to his talmidim to serve to them, and they served the multitude. And they also had a few small dagim. And after he had made the bracha over them, he directed these to be served as well. And they ate and were satisfied. And there was an abundance of shirayim (Rebbeʼs remainders), sheva baskets [full]. And there were approximately arbaat elafim (four thousand) [people]. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent them away.

There are three great loves at the heart of Christianity: love for God, love for our neighbour and love for the lost. How can we put these loves into action, living out the two greatest commandments and the great commission very practically in our everyday lives?
