"Stop giving to the fund drive!" – said no community professional ever. Yet the hearts of our spiritual ancestors were so moved to support their central community institution, the building of the Mishkan, that everyone gave until their gifts overloaded the effort. Amidst so much spiritual, emotional and ethical wisdom, Torah shines a bright light on the kinds of generosity necessary to build vibrant community. There really is a Torah of generosity, and it aims at the heart. |
