DEUT743 (Continued from [[LEV316]] Leviticus 19:9 gleanings OXFORD 345-6). Jewish tradition does not provide a precise definition of "need" but offers paradigmatic examples, such as food, clothing, shelter, furnishings, and requirements of a family life. (S.A. Yoreh De'ah 251:1). The Talmud sets broad parameters for the extent of support in its exegesis of [this verse]. "You shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need (or lack), according as he needs (lacks)." "Sufficient for his lack'--you are commanded to support him, and you are not commanded to enrich him; 'according as he lacks'--even to a horse to ride and a servant to run in front of him." (B. Ketubbot 67b) (By Aaron L. Mackler, "Jewish Bioethics: The Distribution of Health Care")
