Question
What does Judaism teach us about our relationships with friends?
Answer
The value of friends, and how we should behave toward them, are summed up in two passages: 1) Talmud, Ta’anis 7a: "I have learned much from my teachers, but from my friends I have learned even more". 2) Mishnah, Avos 2:10: "Your friend’s honor should be as precious to you as your own".
