Our sages teach: “Tzedakah saves from death.” (Mishlei 10:2).

But more than that, it brings blessing, mercy, and protection for the entire year ahead. The Rambam writes that no mitzvah is as universally powerful in protecting a person as tzedakah.

As we approach Rosh Hashanah, now is the moment to ensure that not a single day of the year passes without this great mitzvah in your merit.

Two wonderful opportunities make this easy:

Daily Giving – https://dailygiving.org/
Sign up to give $1 a day, automatically supporting over 75 outstanding Jewish charities. A simple way to transform your entire year.

Keren Hashana – https://www.lubavitch.com/donate/keren-hashana/
Established by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, this fund distributes your tzedakah daily on your behalf. You can give as little as 5 cents a day ($17.70 for the year) for yourself and each family member, ensuring that every single day of the year, you and your loved ones are giving.

Don’t delay!  Set this up today so that by the time Rosh Hashanah arrives, your year is already filled with the mitzvah of tzedakah.And remember: “Causing others to give tzedakah is greater than giving it yourself” (Bava Basra 9). Please forward this to friends and family.  Who knows how many people will sign up for this great mitzvah and how much of an effect it will have on your neshama going into Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
