O sages, be careful with your words;
For you may incur the penalty of exile,
and be banished to a place of evil waters;
The disciples who come after you will drink of them and die, and the name of Heaven be profaned.
—Avtalion
Take care in studying,
for error in study is as serious as intentional sin.
—Rabbi Yehudah
