Will there always be Poor People?
from Ḥoni's Circle Hosted by Tamar Libicki and Rabbi Paula Rose
In this week's episode of Ḥoni's Circle we study Deuteronomy 15:4-11, a section of the Torah with conflicting messages about whether or not there will always be poor people, as well as our obligation to lend to them and raise them out of poverty. Through this passage we see the Torah's conception of the land being a "loan" from G-d, our obligation to pay forward the abundance we get from the land to the poorer among us, as well as our obligation to steward the land to be a blessing for all generations to come.
