Jews wanted to look after the poor and needy, and their beliefs are that they are obligated to help those in need.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What the Jews teach about the responsibilities of the individual and community to combat injustice is what they learn from the religious book the Torah, and what is taught in the Old Testament. For the Jews, it is the individual who is equipped with the capacity to make its ow elections. It can choose to do good or to negative things. In the Jewish teachings, each person is able to express gratitude and help others because he/she wants to, not because he/she is enforced.
