Podcasts about Tzedakah

The Rebbe provides guidance for an accidental spiritual stumbling block, explaining that the rectification must match the nature of the event. He instructs the recipient to be extra cautious and precise regarding the laws of eating and drinking, and suggests giving Tzedakah before morning prayers and reciting at least one Psalm daily. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/004/6021

The Rebbe provides two essential guides: First, success in Torah study is guaranteed through effort ("Yagata u'Matzata"), but is enhanced by daily Tzedakah and the study of Chitas. Second, to maintain joy and avoid sadness, one should study the end of Hilchos Lulav in Rambam and the specific chapters on this topic in the Tanya. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6033

The Rebbe acknowledges a report from a Farbrengen in the Holy Land. He discusses the concept of "Scattering for the Needy" (Pizar Natan), particularly regarding Tzedakah for Eretz Yisrael. The Rebbe blesses the recipient that his "horn shall be raised with honor," signifying that spiritual merits will manifest as visible material success. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6030

Send a textMaximizing the mitzvah of Tzedakah

If you underpay your taxes, Jewish law says you're not just breaking the law - you're taking money from your own family and neighbors. This morning we unpack the basic obligation for every Jew to give at least a minimal amount to Tzedakah (charity) to those in need, even if one has to beg or borrow for it. And this command is in the form of a tax. We survey the opinion of Rabbi Herschel Schachter that one who does not fully and accurately pay their taxes, regardless of whether they agree with how the funds are spent, is not only violating secular law (a serious Rabbinic prohibition) but also stealing from their family, friends, and community by requiring them to have to pay larger amounts for the services we all receive. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship. Rabbi Whitman shares his thoughts and inspirations through online lectures and shiurim, which are available on: YouTube: / @rabbimichaelwhitman Instagram: / adathmichael Podcast - Mining the Riches of the Parsha: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast...

The Rebbe explains that strong memory begins with repeated, in-depth review and modest conduct. He advises adding daily tzedakah before morning prayer and consistently observing the three fixed study portions of Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya, drawing added Divine assistance. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6046

Esther Shemtov - Adam Ki Yakriv Part 11: Why Tzedakah represents all the mitzvot by Mayanot

In this heart-opening conversation, Rabbi Bernath shares a powerful true story of a needy bride who felt ashamed to accept financial help, until she discovers that she is a partner, not a burden. Drawing on the Torah's teaching of Yissachar and Zevulun, and Chassidic wisdom from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, he reveals the revolutionary idea that tzedakah is not a one-way act of charity but a sacred spiritual partnership. Through moving stories, including a dramatic tale of a Hatzalah medic and his unlikely agreement with a butcher afraid of blood the message becomes clear: the giver and receiver elevate and bless one another. Each act of kindness is a mutual exchange of soul-energy that strengthens Jewish unity and brings the world closer to redemption.Key TakeawaysReceiving is also giving.

The Rebbe stresses careful attention in parnasah, noting that proper conduct in business and giving tzedakah ensures both material success and spiritual alignment. Actions must be purposeful, combining natural effort with Hashem's blessing for optimal results. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/002/5867

Learn the incredible story of the Beis Yosef, whose spiritual dedication led him to be taught by an angel. Uncover how charity connects us to the divine presence and heals the broken heart, removing our spiritual embarrassment. See how giving Tzedakah isn't just about helping others—it's a path to personal and collective redemption. Find practical insights from classical Jewish texts on aligning your actions with holiness and living with purpose. Perfect for anyone seeking inspiration and a deeper understanding of the spiritual impact of kindness!

The Magical Mitzvah that Reveals the Divine Line – Key Takeaways Baruch Gartner explores the unique power of Tzedakah (charity) and why it is considered equal to all other mitzvahs in the Torah. Based on teachings from Rabbi Nachman and Rabbi Nassen, Tzedakah helps remove the spiritual "shadow" cast by our physical nature, which blocks the divine light from entering our lives. Giving charity is described as a way to reveal Hashem's (God's) glory in the world and in our personal lives, dissolving lack and hardship. Tzedakah atones for transgressions by removing partitions that disconnect us from the Divine Presence. The ultimate goal of all mitzvahs is to experience and reveal the honor and glory of Hashem—Tzedakah, more than any other mitzvah, directly achieves this. This practice is described as “the way of Avraham Avinu”—living in alignment with the Divine, bringing light and sweetness into the world through generosity. Listen in to discover how Tzedakah is not just charity, but a powerful spiritual tool for transformation and divine connection!

The Rebbe warmly acknowledges their decision to strengthen giving tzedakah, noting that Hashem invites us to “test” Him in this mitzvah, promising overflowing blessing. He expresses confidence they'll share good news in selling their homes and fulfill their pledge with joy. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/001/5809

In this eye-opening conversation, therapist Rachel Tuchman dives deep into the way we talk about food, body image, and health in the frum community — and why it matters more than we think. From Yom Tov tables filled with diet talk to the surge of GLP-1 weight-loss injections, Rachel explores how these messages shape our children's self-image, strain our relationships, and fuel anxiety. She challenges the obsession with quick fixes and encourages a shift toward true health — meaningful connection, joy around food, and emotional well-being. A must-listen for anyone who wants to build a healthier, happier family culture.

In this deeply moving conversation, Rabbi Hammer opens up about his daughter Gila—her vibrant spirit, her struggles following a traumatic assault, and the painful journey that led to her tragic passing. He shares stories of Gila's infectious joy, her kindness, and her larger-than-life presence, as well as the challenges she faced when navigating pain and despair. Through this heartfelt interview, Rabbi Hammer reflects on the importance of open dialogue about mental health and suicide prevention. He speaks about the founding of Gila's Way, an organization dedicated to raising awareness, educating communities, and providing support for families in crisis. This discussion is not only a tribute to Gila's memory but also a powerful call to action: to break the stigma, to listen more deeply, to validate the struggles of those around us, and to never ignore the signs of someone in pain.

Parashat Reeh - Insights and stories on mitzvah of Tzedakah by Rabbi Benjamin Lavian

The Rebbe blesses him on reaching 81 years with long life, health, and continued strength in tzedakah, Torah study, Tehillim, and communal learning. He explains the deeper meaning of the “third day”—a harmony of body and soul in serving Hashem—encouraging him to live with this higher service, especially in later years, with joy and peace. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/004_igros_kodesh/elul/1174

Hey Elul (21:32)

The Torah tells us to give Tzedakah, and warns us to not to give with a negative heart. Pirkei Avos says that a Chasid gives, and wants others to give as well. What should be our perspective about being asked for Tzedakah, and about asking others to give Tzedakah? Have a good Shabbos

The Rebbe encourages giving more tzedakah, even in smaller installments, especially before putting on tefillin each weekday. With strong trust in Hashem, this brings life and blessings, particularly in livelihood. He looks forward to hearing good news of success. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/012/5686

Once the Torah foretells there will never be an end to poverty, we need another goal for Tzedakah. This is provided by the double language "Pasoach Tiftach," which indicates not an action but a stance. We see this same idea expressed in the details and name of Maaser Sheni, the second tithing.

The Rebbe highlights the Divine Providence in the writer's late donation, noting it was inspired from Above, similar to thoughts implanted from Heaven.

Tefillin causes “all the peoples of the earth to see that the name of Hashem is called upon you, and they will fear you.” Tzedakah – as it says in Midrash Tanchuma etc. And even more so in the Mivtza of Bayis Malei Sefarim, where the entire essence of the home is only a vessel for the sefarim within it. Therefore, this is the appropriate place to once again bring up the importance of engaging in the these five Mivtzoim etc.3 excerpts from sichah of Thursday night, 28 Tammuz, Erev Rosh Chodesh Menachem-Av 5734 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=25-07-2025 לזכות פרימא בת פריידא שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"ט תמוז - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות*לזכות מושקא תחי' יוניק ליום ההולדת שלה כ"ט תמוז - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובותנדבת הורי' ר' דוד וזוגתו מרת חנה שיחיו יוניק

Rabbi Josh Feigelson shares a personal story that becomes a powerful lesson in tzedakah, the Jewish ethical obligation to give. Through an unexpected moment outside a Walgreens, Josh explores the deep emotional and spiritual layers that arise when we encounter people in need—and how choosing to act with compassion can reconnect us to our divine purpose. In the latest episode in a series on Jewish ethics and mindfulness, explore how tzedakah is far more than charity. The word tzedakah means justice—rooted in the Hebrew word tzedek. It's not optional generosity, but a sacred responsibility.

Tzedakah, Gemilut Chesed, Mashiach - Document for Daf 98 by Simon Wolf

Would love to hear from you. See notes below; please don't rely on them as they were generated to accompany shiur and not edited, but feel free to let me know if they are helpful. Understanding Unity Within Creation: Notes from Likutei MoharanTwo Approaches to Understanding CreationTop-Down Approach: The source (or seed) contains all potential, with everything emanating from it in a structured, orderly way. From this perspective, creation unfolds with perfect unity.Bottom-Up Approach: Starts from our experience of fragmented reality where things may appear disconnected or contradictory. The spiritual work is to align these fragments back with their original source to reveal their deeper unity.Spiritual Growth as RealignmentAs we ascend through different spiritual levels, we refine ourselves and reconnect with the panimiyus (internal essence) of each level.The Process of Alignment: We must realign ourselves with the inner purpose at each stage of growth, sensitizing ourselves to the deeper truth present at every level of reality.Money and Tzedakah in Divine ServiceMamon as a Vessel (Kli): Money can either serve as a tool for Hashem's purpose or become empty and meaningless when disconnected from its source.Purpose of Tzedakah: Charity aligns our physical resources with spiritual purpose. When used properly, money becomes a means to express divine unity in the world.Spiritual Rectification: The act of giving redirects resources to fulfill divine will. Money used for tzedakah becomes infused with purpose, rectifying both the giver's soul and participating in the greater tikkun of creation.Navigating Contradictions in Spiritual LifeApparent Contradictions: At each level of spiritual and personal development, we encounter challenges and apparent contradictions. This happens in all contexts—educational, business, and personal.Growth Process: As we develop spiritually, we begin to see how seemingly contradictory elements fit together in a unified whole, serving a greater purpose.Yichud (Unity) as Higher PerspectiveTranscending Contradictions: Spiritual growth allows us to access higher levels of unity where we can see the entire system as interconnected.This higher vantage point reveals how each piece works toward the ultimate goal of divine revelation in the world.Tzedakah as Expression of UnityThrough tzedakah, we actively participate in creating unity between the Creator and creation.When we give, we align ourselves with divine purpose, ensuring our resources reveal Hashem's light in the world.

In this episode, we dive into the foundations of Hilchos Tzedakah, exploring key questions like: -When does the basic obligation to give apply? -Can you test Hashem by giving tzedakah? -How much should one give—and how often?
