Law of Resources

Torah declares all human resources the right of all beings

The idea of declaring all human resources as the right of all beings is rooted in the belief that all living beings have inherent value and that their well-being should be prioritized. By recognizing that all beings have the right to access and benefit from natural resources, we can create a more equitable and sustainable world.

Here are some reasons why Torah requires the Tribes of Israel to declare all human resources the right of all beings:

  1. Environmental sustainability: By recognizing the right of all beings to access natural resources, we can promote environmental sustainability. This means using natural resources in a way that ensures their continued availability for future generations and protects the health of ecosystems.

  2. Social justice: Access to natural resources is often tied to economic and social inequality. By recognizing the right of all beings to access these resources, we can work towards a more just and equitable society.

  3. Animal rights: Recognizing the right of all beings to access natural resources also includes non-human animals, who often suffer as a result of human exploitation and neglect.

  4. Interconnectedness: All living beings are interconnected and dependent on each other for survival. By recognizing the right of all beings to access natural resources, we can promote a more holistic and interconnected view of the world.

Ultimately, declaring all human resources the right of all beings can help us create a more just, sustainable, and interconnected world where all beings can thrive.
