Jerusalem in the Talmud
Rabbi Ari Shvat
Shevat 22, 5776
Question
Where exactly one can find in Talmud the following assertion?:
?Ten measures of beauty gave God to the world: nine to Jerusalem and one to the remainder./ Ten measures of sorrow gave God to the world: nine to Jerusalem and one to the remainder.?
With highest consideration and gratitude,
Answer
The first quote is from the Talmud Bavli (Babylonian), Kidushin 49b. Regarding the second quote, I am not familiar with it, and I couldn't find it anywhere in rabbinic literature (although there is much about mourning and Jerusalem).
All the best!
