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. Reply

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. Reply

Many have struggled to describe Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, the seventh leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. A task so daunting due to the multifariousness of the Rebbe’s personality and achievements.

Rather than attempting to describe the Rebbe, this forum will share hitherto unknown tidbits of information about his life and teachings — information that was recorded in writing, audio and video.

Join us as we explore the Rebbe’s life and teachings. Manuscripts, letters, firsthand experiences and more.
