learning about the chasm between "charity" and "tzedakah" is so fucking illuminating
Charity is a Christian tradition that is all about being magnanimous and how people are moved to do Christian love to people in need
Tzedakah is a Jewish tradition of our ethical obligation to identify injustice in our society and put our time and resources into solving those problems
the former is all about good will and generosity, the latter is mandatory
