Peoplehood & Community

Family First?

Are we allowed to “care” more for our family or chosen family than for others?

What is the value of family? Who are my family members? Are they only my immediate family? What is my connection to the larger Jewish People? Where am I in the story? Do I have responsibility to my family? If so, what is it? Are hostages of all faiths and nationalities currently captured in Gaza a priority for us?
