What should we do when war, disease, natural disasters, economic hardship, or other dangers threaten a community? This Daily Rambam lesson explores the laws of communal distress and the Jewish response of prayer, fasting, and turning to Hashem. From epidemics and drought to threats against Jewish communities, the Rambam teaches that times of crisis call us not only to take practical action, but also to recognize Divine providence, seek mercy, and strengthen our connection with Hashem.
