Weekly Quote
Talmud Bavli, Gemara Brachot, Chapter One, Page 7a.

".ואכנס להם לפנים משורת הדין..."
"... and for their sake I go beyond the boundary of judgment."

Comment: Rav Zutra bar Toviyah tells us (in the name of Rav), what God prays. This quote is the final statement of God's prayer, and shows that God wants to act with compassion and mercy towards the Jewish people, as opposed to being a harsh and strict judge. God pleads with us that we should always try and better our ways so we can be deserving of his mercy.
