One should share the common distress of the community, as we see in the case of Moses, who always shared the troubles of the congregation. [Soncino translation. Edited for gender neutrality]

1. Why should one share the distress of their community? Why is Moses a model for this?
2. Why might one not automatically share their community's distress? Is this a passive or active statement by the talmud?
3. Who is your community? How do you feel your community's distress? How do you ignore it?
