Parshat Ki Teitzei: Help With You, Not For You
Update: 2025-09-05
Description
📖 Parshat Ki Teitzei This Week: When you see someone struggling with their fallen donkey, you must help them lift it, but the Torah uses a key word: 'imo' (עמו) WITH him. You can't just sit back and say, 'This is your mitzvah, you handle it.' But here's the deeper lesson: if YOU'RE the one struggling, you can't just complain that 'someone should fix this for me.' Whether it's your synagogue, community, or organization, change requires your participation. The Torah teaches partnership, not passivity. Yes, we should help each other, but we help WITH you, not FOR you. Want better programs? Get involved. See a community need? Step up. Real change happens when we work together, not when we wait for others to serve us. Shabbat Shalom. 🤝
