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:
<ul>
 <li>The significance of charity in Judaism,</li>
 <li>Personal stories of giving</li>
 <li>The Torah’s perspective on charitable obligations</li>
 <li>The impact of charity on individuals and communities</li>
 <li>The historical context of philanthropic practices in Jewish communities</li>
 <li>Maimonides <a href="https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/45907/jewish/Eight-Levels-of-Charity.htm" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Eight (8) Levels of Charity</a></li>
 <li>Why small, daily acts of charity are better than less frequent, larger acts (even though you’re a mensch for both)</li>
 <li>The impact of giving beyond monetary contributions</li>
</ul>
