i enjoyed reading both of your entries regarding tzedakah. first, i am impressed that you quoted maimonides correctly (about getting a person a skill or a job as being the highest form of tzedakah) - most people say that the highest is to give anonymously. that is actually in second place.

also, i just wanted to let you know that there are people out there (like me!) who earn a living making sure that you give your hard earned tzedakah shekels away to places that will use it efficiently and effectively.

it would be a shame to donate $100 to some place and find out that 26% went for overhead! (you can use guidestar or charity navigator to help you with this as well).

keep up the good work.
