Do not separate yourself from the community

Do not separate yourself from the community

Do not distance or isolate yourself from the community in which you live. A proverb in praise of participation and solidarity with the public. Or: Do not behave in an unusual way that differs from the general public. Or: Do not exchange your social identification for another society.

("Hillel says: Do not separate yourself from the congregation, and do not trust in yourself until the day of your death" – Avot 2:5. Also: "Is it not written explicitly: Do not separate yourself from the public! Thus he says in parable and allegory" – Sholem Aleichem, from The Army Exam, 186. Also: "And in order not to separate from the public, I would pray everywhere according to its custom" – Agnon, These and Those, And He Did Not Fail, 232.)
