As a result of our collective experience as slaves in Egypt, Jews are commanded to be just and prevent the suffering of others. Jewish law is concerned with meeting the needs of the poor and at the same time safeguarding the dignity of those in need. Jewish law has set clear priorities in terms of giving food, clothing, shelter, and medicine all to fulfill the obligation to save life and preserve health. We will explore these themes and how they relate to our lives today.
