Tzedakah

From Shabbat

Revision as of 15:13, 9 July 2012 by 192.162.19.21 (Talk)

Tzedakah (Hebrew: צדקה) in Judaism, is the Hebrew term most commonly translated as "charity", though it is based on a root meaning "justice" .(צדק). In Arabic, charity is "sadakah" (صدقه) and an obligatory type of it, the Arabic term "zakat", is considered to be one of the five pillars of Islam.

Judaism is very tied to the concept of tzedakah, or charity, and the nature of Jewish giving has created a North American Jewish community that is very philanthropic. Because Judaism puts emphasis on the doing of good deeds, one's acts of righteousness are extremely important in living a sacred life. Because the second highest level of tzedakah is giving anonymously (Matan Beseiser) to an unknown recipient, anonymous donations are especially common in the Jewish community.
