Answer 1

Answer:

This story may be trying to convey the message to us about the beliefs and the importance of practical religion in our life. If someone is in a problem or in the helpless situation, we have to help him. Human service is the greatest service which should be done on this earth. Because, going to temples, reciting religious books, prays etc. are less fruitful than actual bits of help and supports to helpless people. In this story, the work of Rabbi helping the sick widow is far better than other Jews’ praying.
