Episode Synopsis

What if your understanding of charity was radically redefined? What if, instead of being an optional act of sympathy, it was an obligation of justice? On today's episode, we dive into the concept of 'tzedaka', a term from the Torah that translates to justice and is often used to refer to charity. We peel back the layers of this Hebrew term to challenge the conventional definition of charity.As we navigate the conversations of the Torah and its commentators, we probe deeper into the idea of each individual as the chairman of their own non-profit organization. We suggest that it is about giving and ensuring your funds are given to tzedaka with righteousness, making it a moral and financial obligation. Join us on this journey as we unravel our roles in the act of charity and reframe what it truly means to live a Jewish lifestyle.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!---------------- SUBSCRIBE to The Weekly Parsha for an insightful weekly talk on the week's Parsha.
