If there is one area that identifies and unites Jews, no matter what their personal beliefs and practices, it is Tzedakah. Tzedakah is more than charity or philanthropy, noble as they are, more than man’s humanity to man, exalted as that is. More truly, it is righteousness and justice. Without these qualities civilization would perish.
