Deuteronomy 22:8 "You shall not bring blood upon your house."

We are responsible for our possessions and we must care for our surroundings.

The Torah cautions us not to neglect an unsafe condition in our home or a hazard in our community that may cause harm.

A rickety staircase, a cracked window pane or a broken street light, are examples of items that must be repaired to ensure safety.
