VBM Mutual Responsibility in the Jewish State By Harav Aharon Lichtenstein zt"l

Without a doubt, the simplest application of mutual responsibility – arevut – is charity and assistance to others. References to mutual responsibility appear, however, in purely halakhic realms as well. In this shiur, I wish to discuss some of the halakhic contexts in which the idea of mutual responsibility arises, and their special application in Eretz Yisrael.
