In this interactive session, we will explore, debate, and discuss the concept of tzedakah. Is there a minimum we should give to charity?  Is there a maximum?  What if the receivers are actually deceivers? Ancient sources, modern scholarship, song lyrics and more will be used.  Everyone is welcome, whether you have studied Jewish texts before or not. Knowledge of Hebrew is not required.  Part of the new Limmud Chavruta series on the theme of Money.  Come to one session; or even better, come to all four!
