July 3, 2026 Parshas Reeh: Give With Faith
“In Parshas Re’eh when the Torah commands that one give charity it says, naton titain, which literally means ‘give you shall give.’ The redundant wording teaches us that if a person gave charity out of feelings of mercy and compassion he must give again altruistically. It was for that reason that I called you back, so that I could give you that second coin purely out of a desire to help a fellow Jew.”
There’s giving and then there’s giving!
