# Tzedakah

Charity

Mivtza 10 of 10

Giving tzedakah (charity) daily, even a small coin, brings blessing and kindness into the world. This mitzvah helps us care for others and opens the heart to compassion.

## A deeper look

The mitzvah of giving tzedakah is considered an all-inclusive mitzvah. There are many different things we can do to earn money, and many different things we can spend money on. In other words, money represents the entire spectrum of human need, industry and endeavor. When we give our money away to charity, it’s as if we are giving away our entire self: all the labor that went into earning the money, and all the things we could have bought with that money. Just by giving a single coin to charity, we lift up the entire world with it.

When it comes to tzedakah, the repetitive, habitual nature of it is what matters. It’s better to give a small sum every day than a large sum once a year. Why is this? For one thing, the point is to make a habit of being generous, not to suffice with a one-time gesture. Furthermore, each act of giving tzedakah creates a union between the upper and lower worlds, joining the finite with the infinite.

Moshiach speaks about the power of tzedakah on many occasions and encourages us to make giving a regular part of our day, especially when we are in need of particular blessings and salvation. Tzedakah has the power to bridge divisions and to heal, as the verse in Proverbs (10:2) states, “Charity saves from death,” and as our sages say, “Great is charity for it hastens the redemption.”
