JEWS HAVE A SPECIAL OBLIGATION
TO OTHER JEWS
Jewish people all across the world have a special connection. We all share a past, present and future -- we need to be able to count on each other.
1. All Jews are responsible for one another.
Talmud Bavli Sh’vuot 39
2. Hillel said, “Do not separate yourself from the community.”
Pirke Avot
2:4
3. One God, one Law, one people, one land.
I.L. Peretz,
Der Dichter
4. Separate reeds are weak and easily broken.
But bound together, they are strong and hard to tear apart.
Tan
h
uma Nitzavim
1
5. How good and pleasant is it for brothers and sisters to live together.
Psalms 133:1
