Makkot 23 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-01 The power of abstaining from a sin. If one who refrains from consuming blood, from which a person is repulsed, is still rewarded, then one who refrains from theft and immorality, which a person desires and covets– all the more so will earn merit for himself, for his generations, and his generations’ generations, until the end of generations.
