The Others

The Rabbis taught: Who is an Am Haaretz?

If you don't say the Shema in the evening and in the morning: these are the words of Rebbe Eliezer.

Rebbe Yehosua says: If you don't wear tefillin.

Ben Azzai says: If you don't wear tzitzit.

Rebbe Natan says: If you don't have a mezuza.

Rebbe Natan bar Yosef says: If you have sons and you don't raise them to study Torah.

The Others say: You may read the Torah and you may read the Mishna, but if you don't serve Torah scholars, you're still an Am Haaretz.

Rav Huna says: The law is in accordance with The Others.

(Brachot 47b)
