\"\"From our Torah portion for this week (i.e., Re’eh<\/a>) we read: aser te\u2019aser:<\/em> \u201cYou shall tithe…” (Deut. 14:22). Understand this as the great blessing of becoming a conduit of heavenly good to others. The sages say that giving tzedakah<\/em> (\u05e6\u05b0\u05d3\u05b8\u05e7\u05b8\u05d4, i.e., \u201ccharity\u201d) to others is like a nursing mother. As long as she suckles her child, her milk supply is replenished and even increases; but once she weans the child, her supply dries up… So also when we give of our substance \u2013 the more we give, the more we will have; the less we give, the less we will have (Matt. 13:12). Therefore as our Lord taught us: \u201cGive, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. ‘Middah keneged middah’ (\u05de\u05b4\u05d3\u05b8\u05bc\u05d4 \u05db\u05b0\u05bc\u05e0\u05b6\u05d2\u05b6\u05d3 \u05de\u05b4\u05d3\u05b8\u05bc\u05d4) – for with the measure you use it will be measured back to you” (Luke 6:38). It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).<\/p>\n
