Love it! I am a Muslim and I conform with every word you say, Rabbi. We even use same terms, we call it "Sadaqa" which is a type of charity. It is nonobligatory, limitless, and everybody can offer it. On the other hand, "Zakat" is an obligatory charity for wealthy and it is an annual 2.5% of the assets. We believe that both Sadaqa and zakat bring blessing to money, purify it, and multiplicate it many folds. The term "lending Allah" was also precisely mentioned in Quran! I just wonder how many beautiful things we do share, not only core beliefs but also their exact terms! Thank you, Rabbi! May God bless you! Reply

Tzedeka Thank you. I too am not Jewish (although somewhere in my ancestors there are Jewish women) but love the Jewish people and their land. I have not had a clear understanding of Tzedeka but now have practical understanding. Thank you. Reply

Inspiring, as always! And, as always, your talks generate questions. I wonder: If a professional agrees to perform services for a lesser fee than normal for clients who are not able to pay the normal fee when the services are urgently required for the benefit of the person and/or the person's family, does the difference between the normal fee and the reduced fee amount act as all to reduce what the professional must pay for the minimum amount of tzedaka?(Let's imagine the professional works by and supports himself with no other source of income - no spouse or parents - nothing much to liquidate, etc. In other words, the reduction of fee is truly 'felt' by the professional each and every time. Let's also imagine that if the professional had not been busy with the work involved here, he might have sooner tried to mount a different or second business or go into different area of same profession.) Any thoughts or direction where to read would be appreciated, if you have time. Thank you. Shalom Reply

This is one of the most important thing in my life that I can clearly say, I have a burning passion for. I use to be picked at for giving. Sometimes I didn't understand why I had to give. I literally would be so sad if I did not give. I was not born or raised in a Jewish home, but I have been so curious and in love with Jews. I won't go on and on but thank you for this segment. Reply

As always, thank you Rav Raskin. Slow and clear presentation with such encouraging thoughts, examples and guides how to be and do as a Jew in the daily world. May our Tfila and Tzdaka protect all of Israel and comfort the families of the five people massacred in the Beit Hacaneset in Yerushalaim. Reply

Thank you so much. Thank you Reply

Giving up hope. I have been unemployed for over 18 months now. I have almost no savings and far more debt. I give charity whenever I can as I live off the generous donations from my family. My parents, family and friends are too running out of money to help me. I never saw any reward for giving Tsedakah, however when I see someone in need I am always compelled to give something. If things keep up this way I will be homeless in a few months. Please pray for me.

I am a convert to Judaism. I am far from perfect but I try my best. I wonder if Hashem loves me. I am about to give up. Reply
