Tzedakah

1. Levels of Tzedakah

Here are the eight levels of Tzedakah. The best way is the last one.

1) Giving but regretting it
2) Giving, but less than someone should
3) Giving, but only because you are being asked to
4) Giving before being asked to
5) Giving without knowing who you’re giving to,
although the person who you’re giving to knows
who’s giving
6) Giving anonymously
7) Giving but not to receive
8) Giving someone something that will help them
become independent, like a job or a loan



2. Can kids perform Tzedakah?

Yes kids can perform Tzedakah, actually anyone can perform Tzedakah even non Jewish people can. You can pay one cent and it would be Tzedakah you can pay ten million dollars and obviously it would be Tzedakah.


3. Ways to give Tzedakah

There are many, many ways to give Tzedakah. That is because Tzedakah doesn’t always have to be money. You can give everything from a gift to volunteering for a local cause, for example the SPCA or Canuck place.




4. Charity vs. Tzedakah

A lot of people would say that charity and Tzedakah are the same thing, but to me and probably many other people they are not even close. Charity is only given when the person feels like it, but Tzedakah is given anytime, anyplace, any mood. No matter what you give, if you give from the heart it will always count.
