Truth and Responsibility: Constructing the Universe of Obligation Aaron Dorfman Judaism has a broad and deep language and tradition of social justice, ranging from tzedakah (charity) to bikkur cholim (visiting the sick) to pikuach nefesh (saving a human life). How does one set priorities when we are surrounded by seemingly infinite need? To whom are we beholden and what responsibilities do we have to other people? Explore traditional Jewish sources on these issues and works by Peter Singer and A.M. Rosenthal.
