The Jewish Value of Giving
✨ Weekly Class: The Jewish View on Giving ✨ Presented by Chabad of Arcadia Understanding Tzedakah — Justice, Responsibility, and Heart
🎥 About the Series Jews are famously generous—but where does that value come from?
Join us for a 10-week Zoom Torah series led by Rabbi Sholom Stiefel exploring the Jewish sources behind tzedakah . Through Torah, Talmud, Midrash, and later Jewish thought, we’ll uncover why giving is central to Jewish life and how it shapes individuals and communities.
Each session explores a different dimension of giving, including: 🔹 Why tzedakah is considered justice, not generosity 🔹 What giving accomplishes spiritually and communally 🔹 How much Judaism actually expects 🔹 Priorities, motives, and preserving dignity 🔹 Teaching the value of tzedakah across generations
