The Sabbath day for the Jewish people i supposed to be holy. But in the Talmud they say that there are esceptions only to act for the benefit of the community. Why do you think these exceptions were made for the benefit of the community?

Emergencies? Volunteering to help others in need?

Maybe if you can actually quote the Talmud and give us examples of these alleged examples then maybe we can answer your question.
But for the record, there is nothing in the Talmud that allows one to violate the Sabbath. The Sabbath can be violated to save someone's life but such a concept is derived from Biblical precepts and is not a rabbinically mandated concept.

So you read all 73 volumes of the Talmud? I doubt it. You can only break the Sabbath during emergencies.
So show us these so called exceptions since you think you are a Talmud scholar

well may be because in those ancient societies people were allowed to stay home on the sabbath and do totally nothing.but of course some people today are not religiously tolerant so that's probably a reason.

It is imperative that one lends themselves in the service of others. To help others is of the highest of human qualities.

Because helping the people around you is good and assuming that God is good himself, he'd want you to do things to help out those around you.
