Nir Lahav and Idit Groiss try to understand the Jewish collective responsibility for others. They argue that "The poor of your city come first" cannot come at the expense of "Repairing the World" ("Tikkun Olam B'Malchut Shaddai"). They suggest that there is no conflict between the options, but rather, it is a question of timing or prioritizing. They conclude that, “by using our knowledge, in conjunction with our conscience and actions, we make the transition from passive bystanders, satisfied with just looking on at the world's injuries, to active bystanders, who are aware of their responsibility to lend a hand and repair the world ("tikkun olam").
