Involvement vs. Commitment

My :

Tzedakah

• Righteous Behavior

• Justice

The Ladder

• Giving begrudgingly and making the recipient feel disgraced or embarrassed

• Giving cheerfully but giving too little

• Giving cheerfully and adequately but only after being asked

• Giving before being asked

• Giving when you do not know who is the individual benefiting, but the recipient knows your identity

Climbing…

• Giving when you know who is the individual benefiting, but the recipient does not know your identity

• Giving when neither the donor nor the recipient is aware of the other's identity

• Giving money, a loan, your time or whatever else it takes to enable an individual to be self-reliant
