GOVERNMENT & POLITICS
O harmonizer with the Torah, and sage devoted to a divine life! Of such a character ought those to be who perform the duties of the Torah at the risk of their own blood, and defend it with generous sweat by sufferings even unto death. You, father, have gloriously established our right government by your endurance; and making of much account our service past, prevented its destruction, and, by your deeds, have made credible the words of philosophy. MAKKABIYM REVIY`IY (4 MACCABEES) 7:7-9 את CEPHER
