The Reno Gazette Journal hosts Faith Forum on Sundays. A question is answered by clergy from many faiths. Rabbi Beyer provides the Jewish response.

RGJ asked: Can Mercy Solve Humanities Problems?

Mercy and More

Mercy and the overlapping ideals of kindness and compassion are indeed key. If we treated ourselves, others, animals, and our environment with those qualities, many of the world's woes would be resolved. However, many more essential ethical traits are needed. Justice is necessary to treat people fairly. Decreasing our greed and over consumption of material goods coupled with a more equitable system of wealth distribution would halt severe poverty and starvation among the world's poorest. Education is needed to keep all people progressing forward.

To solve all of humanity's problems, the best ethical qualities and soul traits of humanity must be embedded in our actions, speech and thoughts. We must become moral, ethical people working to better ourselves and the world. Seriously following a spiritual path to G-d makes us acutely aware of our lacking qualities. It also provides a path to achieve those qualities and polish up our soul.

Faith Forum appears each Sunday in the Local Life Section of the Reno Gazette Journal. Faith Forum clergy answer a question posed each week and responses in the paper are limited to 150 words. Rabbi Beyer is featured as the "Jewish" response. In February 2016 it will be 5 YEARS for Faith Forum column to run in the RGJ. This interfaith group is now working towards a book which would be an edited collection of these columns. See www.nevadafaithforum.org
