Advice for Life: Money

Tuesday, August 2, 2011
Lubavitcher Rebbe; adapted by Dovid Zaklikowski
Algemeiner Journal/Lubavitch Archives

Giving money to charity
elevates it from its monetary value
to spiritual heights.
G-d gives us the physical object,
and it is our mandate
to make it a vehicle for spirituality
by using it for acts of goodness.


Adapted from a letter of the Rebbe, of righteous memory.1

Advice for Life: Money by Dovid Zaklikowsky
I just wanted to say that according to my knowledge of Torah,
especially Chabad-Lubavitch Chassidus, I can truly say that the Torah view of money (how you are allowed and supposed to earn it and then use it) is the exact opposite from the secular and wordly view of money.

Money, how it is earned and used, is such an all pervasive thing in a person's life that it is very important to have the correct view of money according to our Holy Torah.

giving money/ charity
Its based on the Kabbalistic teachings that we are a vessel.

By "emptying" the vessel for good charitible deeds the vessel in turn re-fills itself for the next act of giving to charity.

If we do "give" the vessel stays full and not forfilled to good duties.
