Pirkei Avot, Chapter 2:5
מסכת אבות פרק ב
“הלל אומר, אל תפרוש מן הציבור”
Hillel would say: Do not separate yourself from the community.
Explain how the Thanksgiving project we are preparing for is an example of putting this verse into practice. Why is it important that we reach out to members of the community who we don’t even know?
It’s important to reach out to the members of the communities that we don’t even know because they need our help and our job as people and jews is to help them. They need food for their family and we have the resources. we carried food to their car if we didn’t help how would they get their food. this is why it’s like Do not separate yourself from the community “הלל אומר, אל תפרוש מן הציבור” because were not letting them down were helping them.
