Our hearts go out to everyone affected by Hurricane Sandy. We encourage you to consider this poster, courtesy of PJ Library and Voices & Visions, and to explore these questions from the Meyerhoff Center with your friends and family.

• What comes up for you from this image?
• What does it mean for a “community to be too heavy to carry alone?”
• Who is your community? Are you obligated to a community that is not yours?
• The Talmud writes, “Saving one life is like saving the entire world.” How do you reconcile this idea with the verse: “A community is too heavy to carry alone?”
• What’s one thing you can do in the next 24 hours to impact your community?
