Circles of Care
Manage episode 501611610 series 2375857
Close your eyes and breathe. Parashat Re’eh dreams: “There shall be no needy among you.” The Talmud (Shabbat 54b) teaches: we are responsible for wrongs in our household, our town, our nation, our world.
Begin with your heart: feel compassion arising within you. Extend it to your household—family, loved ones—asking, how might I help create a home without lack? Widen to your community—neighbors, coworkers, strangers—how can I help relieve need? Broaden to the nation, holding the Torah’s vision of a society without poverty. Finally, imagine the whole world, billions of lives, precious and beloved.
Each circle calls for your care. Each breath strengthens your responsibility. May your compassion ripple outward, helping to bring the Torah’s promise closer to reality.
