TZEDAKAH - Monday, December 26, 2016
Hebrew. charity or the giving of charity.
***
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. Laura Joseph Mogil, "A History of Giving," New York Times , September 16, 2007
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. Bernie Marcus in conversation with Michele Cohen Marill, "Conversation: Bernie Marcus," Atlanta ,March 2003
