Charity interview

Michael seems to have actually gotten in the way of this interview. (sorry Michael)
The RebDr Schochet was distracted by the questions/arguments (yes, I know that's what we do.....) but the importance of the mitzvah that was being explained seems to have gotten pushed aside. The fact that Tzedakah brings us closer to the ideal level Hashem wishes for us to reach. It lifts not just us, but those who are in need, and allows them to also recognize love and blessings from G_d, to allow them to follow and do the same. When we give to others the blessings G-d has bestowed upon us, it is G-d giving to them. This is what elevates us from the creatures of creation. To become more like we were first created, "in the image of G-d".
Would like to hear more from the RebDr.
Shalom

new episodes?

If this show is still running or has future episodes, is there an chance to have Michael Kigel interview Rabbi Itchy Kaddoozy? It would be pretty cool to hear him tell Michael, the same way he tells the Jono character, "Actually Kigel, dragging a woman across the street to get browny points with G-d has NOTHING to do with charity."
