Upcoming Sessions
Part I: Justice, Not Charity
The Philosophy & Mechanics of Tzedakah — Uncover why Jewish tradition views giving not as optional benevolence, but as an act of fundamental cosmic justice. Explore practical micro-habits of daily giving, the tradition of the Pushka (coin box), and the spiritual mathematics of stewardship.
Part II: The Ladder & The Heart
Maimonides, Intent, and Character Transformation — Deep dive into Maimonides' famous 8 Levels of Giving and explore the fascinating debate between action and intention. Does an act of giving carry less spiritual weight if done out of obligation rather than pure emotion?
