The Law of Daka - Giving Confers Dignity

jewish law rules that they must give to others. Giving confers dignity, and no one should be deprived of it. The paradox of giving is that when we lift something to give to another, it is we ourselves who are lifted. What elevates us in life is not what we receive, but what we give. We are god's image, his children, his ambassadors, his partners, his emissaries. He wants us not merely to receive, but also to give. And is willing to live in the home we build for him, however humble, however small. Shabat shalam.
