Citations for tzedakah
Frequently translated as “charity,” the word “ tzedakah ” comes from a Hebrew root meaning “righteousness” and “justice.” The prototype tzedakah (pronounced tze-DA-ka) box can be traced back thousands of years, described in an Old Testament verse that relates how the First Temple in Jerusalem collected donations for its repair in a chest with a hole bored through the top.
You don't have to be Jewish to understand tzedakah, giving back to the community. It's a matter of teaching. If you don't teach your children about it, they won't know about it and they will miss this satisfaction in their lives.
