"Thou Shalt Not Harden Thy Heart" ✡ Shabbat Shalom from Israel - ISRAEL365

If there be among you a needy man, one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates, in thy land which Hashem thy God giveth thee, nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother. Deuteronomy 15:7 (The Israel Bible™)   כִּי יִהְיֶה בְךָ אֶבְיוֹן מֵאַחַד אַחֶיךָ בְּאַחַד שְׁעָרֶיךָ בְּאַרְצְךָ אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָנֹתֵן לָךְ לֹא תְאַמֵּץ אֶת לְבָבְךָ וְלֹא תִקְפֹּץ אֶת יָדְךָ מֵאָחִיךָ הָאֶבְיוֹן דברים טו:ז kee y'-hi-YEH v'-KHA ev-YON me-a-KHAD a-khe-KHA b'-a-khad shi-a-re-kha b'-artz-kha a-sher Ha-shem e-lo-he-kha no-tayn lakh lo ti-a-metz et l'-vav-kha v'-lo tik-potz et yad-kha me-a-khe-kha ha-ev-yon

Shabbat Inspiration Here's a beautiful lesson from the holy language of Hebrew! The root of the word for "give" in Hebrew is "natan" נתן which is a palindrome; it reads the same backwards as forwards. The essence of giving is that what we give, we get back in some way. While many assume that their time or money will be lost forever if shared, Judaism teaches the opposite; that we stand to personally gain when we give to others.
