JEWISH WISDOM IN GIVING
The tsedakah is a principle in Jewish law showing the means of helping those in need: There are eight degrees in the giving of tsedakah: 1.Those who give grudgingly, reluctantly, or with regret. 2.Those who give less than is fitting, but give graciously. 3.Those who give what is fitting, but only after being asked. 4.Those who give before being asked. 5.Those who give without knowing to whom, although the recipients know the identity of the donors. 6.Those who give without making their identity known to the recipients. 7.Those who give without knowing to whom and neither do the recipients know from whom they receive. 8.Those who help others by giving a gift or loan, or by making them business partners or finding them employment, thereby helping them dispense aid to others.
