Mutual Responsibility

Shevuot 39a

All of Israel is responsible for one another.

שבועות דף לט עמוד א
כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל עָרֵבִים זֶה בַּזֶה
Yerushalmi Berakhot 37a

Who occupies oneself with the needs of the community is as though one occupies oneself with Torah.

תלמוד ירושלמי ברכות דף לז עמוד א
הַעוֹסֵק בְּצָרְכֵי צִבּוּר כְּעוֹסֵק בְּדִבְרֵי תּוֹרָה
עֲרֵבוּת
Arevut

Arevut inspires response-ability: learning to be aware of, sensitive to, and responsive to the needs of the Jewish community.
