The Tzedakah Box

The Tzedakah Box




The Jewish tradition of Tzedakah began with Torah, and continues today as a testimony to our commitment to justice.  Tzedakah means more than “giving to charity.”  The commandment to give is a kind of ingenious cognitive tool, training us to interact and help as a community member.  We give to causes that are worthy, to our synagogues, and to others less fortunate.  Some of us give to Israel, some support environmental causes, some assist the homeless, others give where their heart directs them.
