There is a basic flaw in believing that by giving, one loses. The Chofetz Chaim cites the promise in Tanna D’Vei Eliyahu Zuta (Perek 4): “If you gave charity, you will merit money. If you merited money, then give charity with it.” When one has money to give, one has the opportunity to create a permanent asset. Hashem is giving the person a chance to make an investment that earns principal and dividends in this world and the World to Come. By giving the money, one cannot lose. “You shall surely give him, and let your heart not feel bad when you give him, for in return for this matter, Hashem, your G-d, will bless you in all your deeds and in your every undertaking,” says Devarim (15:10).

I am very excited about the Keren Hashana Fund. Everyday, there is a mitzva to give tzedaka. That is why the Lubavitcher Rebbe established Keren Hashana; a fund that will disburse your tzedaka to worthy causes, daily, giving you and the Jewish people the benefit of this great mitzvah every day of the year!
You and each member of your family could give as little as 5 cents a day for each day of the year. Just go to https://lubavitch.com/donate.html?o=2026760&src=Lubavitch.com or email hq@lubavitch.com and give the names of each of your family members so that this one-time donation ensures you and them the daily mitzvah of tzedaka for every day of the year. It begins next week, so sign up now.
