Chabad of Palmetto Bay

Tzedakah (Hebrew: צדקה) is the Hebrew term most commonly translated as "charity", though it is based on a root meaning "justice".(צדק).

Because Judaism puts emphasis on the doing of good deeds, one's acts of righteousness are extremely important in living a sacred life. No other mitzvah evokes as powerful a divine response as tzedakah. It makes sense: you take care of others, and G‑d takes care of you. Our sages taught that tzedakah brings atonement and protects against harsh heavenly decrees.

Our goal is that every home should have at least one “pushke” (tzedakah box) in which to put a coin (or more) on a daily basis.

When to give Tzedakah?

·                    Right before praying (men & women)

·                    Before putting on Tefilin (men)

·                    Before cooking (it is not unusual to have a “pushke” in the kitchen)               

·                    Before lighting candles

·                    And any other time (when an item is lost, as a thank you for something good that happened, etc.)

Our good friend, Jeff Sandow, has volunteered to pick up your “pushkes” once a month. The monies collected will be used to purchase books and for the bettering and enhancing our Shul.

Please contact Rabbi Gansburg at 786-282-0413 to let him know how many tzedakah boxes you want.
