Welcome back for another edJEWcation discussion. This week, we’re talking Tzedakah (or charity, for everyone who didn’t attend Hebrew school).
In this conversation, we explore:
- The significance of charity in Judaism,
- Personal stories of giving
- The Torah’s perspective on charitable obligations
- The impact of charity on individuals and communities
- The historical context of philanthropic practices in Jewish communities
- Maimonides Eight (8) Levels of Charity
- Why small, daily acts of charity are better than less frequent, larger acts (even though you’re a mensch for both)
- The impact of giving beyond monetary contributions
