Our continuation of our Four Part Series of Episode 22: Care for Others, Charity or Commandment?
It may be challenging to think about this, but when can I be relieved of these onerous responsibilities?
The idea of power and care. Not necessarily political power but inside our communities. Our responsibilities are different based on our social location. What are the practicalities of how we should act? Those with power can offer comprehensive help yet people with power do not wish to offer help to others. We enjoy the privilege of ‘Look at me I can give stuff away’. How do we give up some of our space in order to allow space for others? Rabbi Klein says there should be no blanket pass even if you are in dire straits. All must contribute something to others. There is always something we can do to repair the world in some way. Raman Singh says that we should not be judging others but simply living up to our own responsibilities. Are we hiding our faith values?
