  • La alegoría de las cucharas largas es una parábola que muestra la diferencia entre el cielo y el infierno mediante personas obligadas a comer con cucharas largas. Está atribuido al rabino Haim de Rumšiškės, así como a otras fuentes.​​ La alegoría se puede resumir de la siguiente manera: En ambos lugares se le proporciona comida a los habitantes, pero los utensilios son demasiado largos para servirse a uno mismo con ellos. En el infierno, las personas no son capaces de cooperar, y por tanto pasan hambre. En el cielo, los comensales se alimentan los unos a los otros desde lados opuestos de la mesa, y su hambre es saciada. La historia puede animar a la gente a ser más amable con el prójimo. Existen varias interpretaciones de la fábula, incluyendo como parte de su uso en sermones y como consejo para gente solitaria. (es)
