What is the second greatest commandment?

Answer 1

(Matthew 22:34-40) "...One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him,

"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"

And He said to him, " 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.'

This is the great and foremost commandment.

The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'

On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

Answer 2

Possibly the greatest commandment is not a commandment at all. But what lies in the purpose of God creating humans.

And what that purpose is essentially to glorify God. Humans are creations of God and we were solely made to glorify him and his greatness.

When one glorifies God, he or she will follow all the commandments. Because he or she is glorifying God by following the commandments.

Generally we avoid assigning ranks to the Torah-commands, since they are all important. But we can confidently say that the most important thing in Judaism is recognizing the existence of God. The second-most important would be accepting the Torah, or repudiating idolatry. Both are vital. All the other commands are important, but these three are foremost.

You shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart, mind and soul.
