Tzedakah vs. Charity
Charity comes from the Latin word caritas, meaning it should come from the heart. Tzedakah comes from the same root as tzedek meaning justice.
Tzedakah is us giving time, talent and money no matter what mood. Also Tzedakah is no matter if we are nice or mean caring or not. We give with an open hand at any age.
Charity is something that has to be given from the heart. If in generous mood and gave something to charity it mean something. If not in generous mood and gave it does not mean anything because it was not given from the heart.
Difference between Tzedakah and charity is Tzedakah is given in any mood. Charity is only given from the heart.
Can kids perform Tzedakah?
Why:
1. Because children have stuff animals and old toys that they don’t want anymore so they give it to children who do not have anything.
2. children at any age can still donate
3. if children taught Tzedakah then they can donate and understand what there doing
Why not:
1. children are limited
2. don’t understand
3. not taught
4. some do not care
5. don’t have time
6. don’t have the effort
What Tzedakah have to do with Judaism?
Judaism teaches us to live each day with good in our lives. That is why many Jews celebrate all sorts of occasions like namings and weddings. In that time we give much to charities and Tzedakah because we have just been given much so there is much to give to others. Plus it connects with our tradition. We give what we have.
How Tzedakah should be given?
With our heart. Also because we want to not because we are forced to. A portion of our income to the poor. With effort, time, devotion and daily. Free willing, thought, ability and generous. With nothing in return. An open heart or hand. A job so in the future they give Tzedakah and help another person like were helped and also so they build self worth in there self again.
Levels of Tzedakah
It should be given without someone giving anything back. Without being asked and free willing. Without regret or sorrow. Try to give anything that you have. Given from the heart, do it because you want to, not because you are forced to. Finding who is in need a fresh new start.
