#ObligationNotOption

Most people think of charity as a kind act—something you do when you’re feeling generous. But in Judaism, giving isn’t just kindness. It’s justice.

Tzedakah isn’t a “nice to have”—it’s a mitzvah, a sacred obligation to help build a fairer world.

From Maimonides’ ladder of giving to the way we preserve dignity through how we give, tzedakah reminds us that we’re responsible for one another. Always.

Because in Judaism, we don’t wait for the world to change. We help change it.
