How Can You Build for the Future?
Throughout Jewish history, the religious mandate to repair the world has been a unique characteristic of our culture. Our children are taught tzedakah through their parents and grandparents’ examples of volunteering, giving and caring for those unable to care for themselves.
“I did not find the world desolate when I entered it. My ancestors planted for me before I arrived, so I plant for those who will come after me.”
– B. Talmud Ta anit 230
