DEUT453 In the Sages' view, humility is an attribute of the Almighty Himself. There is a moving Talmudic passage, included in our prayers at the end of the Sabbath: Said R. Yohanan: In every instance where you find a mention of the Holy Blessed One's greatness, there you will also find His unassuming modesty. ... It is written in the Torah, "the Lord your God is God of Gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who will not be partial nor take a bribe"; and immediately afterwards it is written, "He achieves justice for the orphan and the widow, and loves the stranger, in giving him bread and clothing"… [this and preceding verses, T.B. Megillah 31a]. Great in transcendent majesty is He, says the Torah -- and at once it assures us that no pride blocks His deep concern for those who need Him. So does the true Torah scholar become: his mind and vision are opened to soar to the heights and understand the loftiest and deepest matters of existence; yet he walks humbly among his fellow-men, ready to be concerned and give his help.
