According to the ancient sages, the commandment of giving charity is equally important to all other Jewish commandments. The High Holiday prayers state that God judges all who have sinned. But, teshuvah (repentance), tefilah (prayer) and tzedakah can reverse His decision. There are no exemptions  The duty to give is considered so important in Judaism that even the recipient is obligated to give something back to others. The only stipulation is that one should not give to the point where he himself becomes needy.  The act is also linked to ancient times  According to some sources, giving tzedakah is considered a replacement for the animal sacrifice carried out in ancient times. This act was meant to express thanks to God and ask His forgiveness. Let's move on and take a look at the personal aspect:  When you give, you gain something back as well… The giving of charity can often be just as rewarding to the giver as to the receiver. The spiritual reward for giving can often just as great as the benefit the receiving party will gain. When a person gives to charity, he has the opportunity both to appreciate the good that he has and to share it with others – a person like that is lucky in my book…  Now what about the meaning of the word? The word tzedakah comes from the Hebrew word tzedek, which means righteous. In the Bible, the word tzedakah refers to justice, kindness and ethical behavior. In Modern Hebrew, it refers to charity - giving to those in need.  This is consistent with the Jewish approach Judaism considers charity to be an act of justice more then an act of good faith. According to tradition, people in need have a right to food, clothing and shelter – this right must be honored by others more fortunate. So you see, giving tzedakah is not voluntary, it's considered an act of justice. According to some, there are also different levels of tzedakah – let's see what they are!  The different levels of charity The RAMBAM (Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon), a 12th century Jewish scholar, wrote a code of Jewish law saying that not all acts of charity are equivalent - some are considered better then others. In the text below, you can see how he ranked them, from the most meritorious to the least meritorious:  Giving and enabling the recipient to become self-reliant Giving when neither party knows the other's identity Giving when you know the recipient's identity, but he doesn't know yours Giving when you don't know the recipient's identity, but he knows yours Giving before being asked Giving after being asked Giving less that you should, but giving it happily Giving begrudgingly  There is also an accepted way to determine the recipient  When giving charity, you should consider the person or organization you plan to help out. According to Jewish tradition, there are some recipients more preferred than others. They are ranked below in order of priority, from the highest to the lowest:  Family and close relatives  Local Jewish community Jewish community in Israel  Jewish communities worldwide Local community in general International assistance to needy people The occasion on which we give also has an importance In Judaism, there are occasions in which it's considered more appropriate to give to others. Giving is considered a great way to celebrate a happy occasion, commemorate a deceased loved one or mark the Holy Days. It's also traditional in Jewish families to give the children money each week, before the Sabbath , to place in the tzedakah box by this teaching them the act of tzedakah.  Where can we find the tzedakah boxes? Tzedakah boxes are often found in public places but also in many Jewish homes. Most synagogues have tzedakah boxes as well - this is to enable people who come to worship and celebrate to carry out an act of righteousness. Will you recognize it when you see it? Let's take a close look at the box The tzedakah box can take almost any shape and form. There are round boxes, square boxes, long ones and flat ones. They can be made of all sorts of materials. For example, glass, ceramic, silver, pewter, wood and even papier maché. The boxes are usually decorated with Jewish motifs or general motifs such as nature. Once, I even saw a tzedakah box for sports lovers, it was designed like a basketball!  Spread the joy of giving The tzedakah box makes a great gift. If it's of high quality it can even last for ever and maybe be passed on as a family heirloom. Giving it as a gift is most appropriate on almost any occasion: Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, new babies, weddings, birthdays or even when visiting friends and family.  . From an exhibition catalogue in the Israel Jerusalem Museum : The Map of Israel as Illustration, Artwork, and Icon A pencil-case, a package of cookies, and the blue box of the Jewish National Fund are displayed here together, all three decorated with the map of Israel. Yet the map adorning these items and the rest of the pieces in this exhibition is not geographic or topographic; it is an artistic representation and a cultural emblem. It is the same image that, even with one's eyes closed, takes on its familiar shape - a loop on the upper-right hand corner at the Sea of Galilee, and, under it, a sort of tongue shape representing the Dead Sea; to the left, a small curve marking Haifa, followed by a larger one; and, at the bottom, Eilat, the final link that completes the narrow outline of the state.  Naturally, the borders of the maps reflect the historical time in which they were drawn, but changing borders are not the focus of this exhibition. The items presented here reflect shifting tastes and passing trends with one objective throughout the years: to increase familiarity with the land and to strengthen love of the land in experiential, educational, and aesthetic ways. So, what is this artistic, non-geographic map? Is it a work of art, an illustration, or an icon? Perhaps it is all three, for all of the maps displayed here have a fine-art aspect, an illustrative aspect - adding personal artistic interpretation - and an iconic aspect. The wealth of images in this exhibition stretches the limits of Israel's map, allowing us to take a considered, personal, new look at this very familiar sight.   Tell Me a Map: The Story Map The story map encourages investigation and is all about the joy of decoding. It tempts us because it is a lightweight, eye-catching marketing tool. Packed inside the lines that delineate the country are famous sites, personalities, animals, and events from former eras. These are all rendered in a realistic figurative way, which in turn determines things like shape, color, and composition. "When You Enter the Land:" Biblical Maps Since the time of the British Mandate, Bible study has served as a central tool in educating the Zionist sabra (native Israeli), a means of creating a mental construct of the way the homeland looks. Biblical motifs became associated with visual characteristics: generally, the characters were bearded and dressed in robes, and the graphic design called for a special font with an antiquated feel - whether the maps illustrated a board game or a notebook. As the objects on display show, many map manufacturers happily skipped over 2,000 years of exile and depicted the modern Hebrew settlement as a direct continuation of the biblical era. Know Your Country: Pre-geographic Maps These maps were made to be used as a preliminary step before studying a real map of the country. In order to read them, one often has to understand geographic principles. In artistic-typological terms, these maps can be divided into two main categories: maps so short on detail that one can only see the bare outline of the country's borders, and maps which place emphasis on familiarity with the land and are bursting with colors and shapes. Make Yourself an Icon and a Map - Symbolic Maps These maps are sketched broadly and are meant to provide a visual nod to the map of Israel without providing any geographic information. Instead, they aim to strengthen patriotism through the presence of national emblems. Some of the items on display here feature the map alongside other Zionist symbols, such as the Israeli flag, the Declaration of Independence, and Theodor Herzl's portrait; these maps are usually packed with details, as in the decorative plate shown here. Other items are characterized by a certain graphic restraint. In this type, national symbols are interwoven into the design of the map with such subtlety and frugality that one identifies the map only at second glance, such as in the book Speak Hebrew . Today the symbolic map is much less popular than it once was. Taking its place are colorful story maps, which are free of any nationalist content. The Map between Icon, Artwork, and Illustration In On the Map (1981), Danny Kerman playfully manipulates illustrations of the map of Israel. The natural shoreline and the official border become shapes in their own right while the map is doubled, extended, and made smaller. Kerman expresses a wide selection of humorous political and social ideas through his graphic variations. With endless plays on form and line, he asks how far one can stretch the confines of the map while retaining its essence - and at what point it becomes another entity altogether.     ebay294
