Welcome, dear listeners!
Today, let's delve into the heartwarming mitzvah of charity, a cornerstone of Jewish life. The Talmud in Tractate Shabbat 63a teaches us a profound lesson: "Greater is he who causes others to do good than he who does good himself." What does this mean for us? It means that while giving charity is indeed a great deed, inspiring others to give, or enabling them to do so, is even greater.
This teaching transforms our approach to generosity. It's not just about the act of giving, but also about the ripple effect we create. When we encourage our friends, family, or community to join in acts of kindness, our single act of charity becomes a catalyst for a multitude of good deeds. Just imagine the impact we can have if we not only give but also multiply the giving around us!
As we go about our days, let's look for those opportunities to not just be givers but to be leaders in giving. Let's spark the flame of charity in others and watch as it illuminates the world.
