Quote of the Day

"The giving of tzeddakah is important on many levels. On the physical plane, it balances the world's resources, on the emotional level, it is one of the better methods for opening the heart; in the intellectual world, it breaks down ideological constructs as the lines between differences begin to blur. But the most profound consequence of constantly giving tzeddakah is the subtle disintegration of the boundaries that define the self as separate from others.

At first giving charity is distinctly experienced as a subject-object phenomenon. I am giving to you. After a while, however, the benefit of giving equals the benefit of receiving, and all is connected in a closed loop. Some are nourished through the opportunity of giving; others through that of receiving."

- David A. Cooper (God is a Verb)
