Parashat Massei: Your Life, My Laundry, Your Water

Pardes from Jerusalem - En podcast af Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies

How do we distribute scant resources in a needy world? Are wealthy societies obligated to share their fundamental resources with more impoverished societies in need? This podcast takes us to a challenging passage in Nedarim which draws its prooftext from the mitzva of the Levite cities in chapter 35. If my city has water and yours does not, am I obligated to provide for you? The discussion moves to questions of equity, charity and justice in Jerusalem.
