Tzedakah

Hey All,

Here are a few paragraphs about tzedakah...


Tzedakah and charity are very similar but very different at the same time. For example tzedakah is all about action and actually "giving your body" to your cause, but giving money for charity all depends on what mood you are in. If you are in a great mood you would most likely give more and vice-versa. In the end they are both about helping others.

There are eight levels of tzedakah and I will give you the first way and the best way to practice tzedakah. 1) Giving without wanting to, for example: If your friend forces you to give tzedakah. 8) If you are helping the recipient be self supported, for example: Instead of giving your friend a fish you give them a fishing rod so they can not only get one fish but many fish!

Can kids do tzedakah? In my opinion it does not matter how old you are, what really matters is how informed you are about tzedakah. So yes, I think kids of all ages can do tzedakah in different ways, like: Walkathons, bikeathons, giving spare change to a tzedakah box etc. etc. etc.

How should one give tzedakah? Give from the heart and only to one's capabilities. If giving money, not too much money but not too little money. Usually 10% but no more than 20% is donated.

What if non-Jews want to practice tzedakah? They can, why not? Everything helps and the more help the better. Jews or Non-Jews. Like Chiune and Yukiko Sugihara in WWII who risked their lives to help the Jews with their visas.


I hope you have learnt a lot from these paragraphs :)

5 Tzedakah Paragraphs

By Jonah 6A

1. Levels

There are eight levels for giving tzedakah. One is the lowest and eight is the highest.

1. Give tzedakah with not wanting too.
2. Giving, but giving less than you could give.
3. Giving because you are asked to give.
4. Giving before being asked.
5. Do not know where you are donating to.
6. Giving anonymously.
7. Giving to an organization but do not know which person they are giving your tzedakah to.
8. Give something they really need, for example giving a job to a unemployed person.

2. Can Kids Perform Tzedakah?

Kids can perform tzedakah because it does not matter what age you are. It’s important they understand what they are giving. Children have more time to donate, as adults are working etc. They don’t have the time like kids do. Children get to learn tzedakah in class as for most adult jobs, they don’t involve tzedakah. Also it is hard for kids to raise tzedakah because they don’t have as much money as an adult. In some organizations kids are not old enough to volunteer.

3. How To Give Tzedakah?

When you give tzedakah you should donate it with your heart. Take the time to imagine what other less fortunate people are like. “You donate a portion of your income to tzedakah. As a child you do not have much money to donate. But you have a “field” of time talent, skills, some of which you can dedicate to make the world a better place.”

4. Charity VS Tzedakah

The difference between charity and tzedakah is, with charity you only give when you are in a giving mood, but with tzedakah you give when you are in any mood. It also does not matter what age or condition you are in for tzedakah.

5. Do You Have To Be Jewish To Give Tzedakah?

You do not have to be Jewish because there are lots of people who give tzedakah, for example: Non Jews sheltered and feed Jews in World War 2. Non Jews give jobs to unemployed people. There are millions of way non Jews have done tzedakah.
