Rabbi Elazar Said

אמר רבי אלעזר

Talmud, Tractate Berakhot 64a

Rabbi Eleazar used to quote Rabbi Hanina, who said: "Scholars increase peace in the world, as it is written in the holy Scriptures: ‘When all Your children will have learned of the Lord and will have been taught the Torah, His teachings, their peace shall be great.’ Do not read it as ‘Your children [banayikh],’ but, rather, to them as ‘Your builders [bonayikh].’ They who love Torah have great and everlasting peace, and they will not stumble. May peace abide within your surroundings, and prosperity within your abodes. For the sake of my brothers and friends, I say: Peace be with you!”
