Tzedakah Paragraphs

Hey Mr.G. Noah and I made this together.

1. Levels of Tzedakah

There are eight levels of tzedakah. One being the lowest, and eight being the highest.

1. Giving Tzedakah when not wanting too.
2. Giving a lot but giving less than you could have given.
3.Giving Tzedakah because you are asked to give.
4.Giving before being asked to give.
5.Giving without knowing the recipient.
6.Giving without the recipient knowing the donor.
7.Giving without the recipient knowing the donor and the donor not knowing the recipient.
8.Giving somebody a job or loan so they can help themselves in the future.


2.Can Kids Perform Tzedakah?

Personally I think kids can perform Tzedakah because you can give it at any age. If young children give Tzedakah their parents should tell them why they are donating and where its going to. Children have more time to donate to Tzedakah because most adults have a full time job and don’t care about Tzedakah or don’t have the time to donate. In Jewish schools children are taught how to give Tzedakah and what it is for Tzedakah in class as for most adults weren’t taught when they were children. It is hard for kids to collect money for Tzedakah because they don’t bring as much attention or awareness as an adult can and they don’t have as much money as an adult. In most organizations kids are to young to volunteer in a fundraiser.

3.How To Give Tzedakah?

When you give Tzedakah it should come from the heart. Take time to think about others and how less fortunate they are. You should give 10% of your income to Tzedakah. Eve. Charity VS Tzedakah

The difference between charity and Tzedakah is, you give charity depending on your mood, but when you give Tzedakah your mood doesn’t matter. Also you could have any kind of intelligence to give Tzedakah.

5.What Does Tzedakah Have To Do With Judaism?

First of all Tzedakah come from a Hebrew word meaning justice but other religions also give Tzedakah. It is introduced in every Jewish school. Tzedakah relates to a say in created by Hillel. It is a custom that Jews give 10% of there income to Tzedakah. It’s a Tradition that Jews give Tzedakah it started in the Biblical times and it is still going on today.

We think Tzedakah has made big difference in many peoples live and we hope it stays the same.
