Now, my son, don’t think that tzedakah is only about giving money to the poor. The Torah instructs us to be kind and assist others in every possible way.

Whoever helps his friend, whether with money or through other means, even with kind words, is considered to have given tzedakah, and his reward is great.

~ Sefer HaChinuch (Mitzvah 479)

What a chiddush! Tzedakah can be given not only with money, but also with kind words, a compliment, or even a smile.

IY”H, we’ll expand on this more next week. Good Shabbos!
