When Rabbi Hama son of Rabbi Hanina taught about "walking after God" in third-century Palestine, he established a revolutionary framework for confronting personal crisis through divine imitation that remains relevant today. By analyzing his teaching in Sotah 14a alongside biblical exegesis and halakhic codifications, this research reveals how aggadah (Jewish theological narrative) transforms abstract divine attributes into concrete ethical actions. Through four paradigmatic acts—clothing the naked, visiting the sick, comforting mourners, and burying the dead—Rabbi Hama creates a progressive model demanding increasing temporal and emotional investment from practitioners. These acts demonstrate how divine presence manifests through human compassion, suggesting that knowledge of God emerges primarily through ethical behavior rather than ritual alone. Post-talmudic authorities like R. Ahai of Shabha and R. Simeon Kayyara later elevated these aggadic principles into formal halakhic obligations, illustrating the dynamic relationship between theological narrative and legal practice. The analysis demonstrates how mandated acts of hesed (loving-kindness) provide a path beyond narcissistic self-absorption, offering contemporary Jews a meaningful response to suffering and alienation through concrete ethical action that embodies divine attributes.
