GEN1536 The notion of caring for other Jews is extended further by the concept that every Jew is responsible for every other Jew.   Shevuot 39a.  This means that a Jew feels the pain of every other Jew.   More than just feeling an obligation to help, this idea signifies that a Jew feels another Jew’s pain and makes it his or her own pain.   Thus, the Midrash Leviticus Rabbah 4:6 says that Jews are compared to sheep because when any limb of a sheep hurts, the sheep’s entire body feels the pain … So, too, when any Jew is in pain, other Jews feel it.  Although Yehudi, Jew, originally meant from the tribe of Judah, it has come to mean the person who exhibited the quality of Judah, which was to stand up to his father and Pharaoh and offer himself in order to save his brother Benjamin.   Genesis Rabbah 98:6.   Every Jew feels the responsibility of caring for every other Jew.  AMEMEI 196
