DEUTERONOMY | 15:11 cease — DEUT794 Jewish law... does not satisfy itself wit...

DEUT794 Jewish law... does not satisfy itself with establishing a floor of expectations; it also pushes us to aspire to become even better, reaching for an ideal. For example, even though the Torah acknowledges that “there never will cease to be needy ones in your land” (Deuteronomy 15:11), it does not allow us to remain complacent, but rather requires us to support the poor in a variety of ways . Similarly, the Torah announces the ideal of justice and also requires us by law to do a number of things in the quest for both procedural and substantive justice.
