The Alter shared a powerful story: if you ask someone to give, they may resist. But if you offer them a chance to gain, they’ll leap at it. This isn’t just a lesson in fundraising — it’s a window into the Jewish view of giving: you’re not losing; you’re investing in eternity. #TorahAnytime #Tzedakah #JewishWisdom #Chizuk #AlterOfSlabodka #JewishStory #TorahShorts #shorts

There was a very wealthy person who
lived in the neighborhood that was a
tremendous miser and refused to give any
sedaka. Once a rasha approached the
altar and he asked him how do you get
money out of this gir as many times as I
tried I couldn't budge him and you
always get a large donation from him and
the alter replied I'll tell you the
difference between you and me when you
enter his home you take off your shoes
you avoid sitting on his fancy sofa so
you're showing him that his wealth and
his possessions are incredibly valuable
and then you ask him to part with it of
course he refuses I on the other hand
are walking with my muddy shoes I throw
my briefcase on his fancy couch my
message is there. Everything you own is
worthless. But I'm here to offer you a
deal of a lifetime. You can give me some
of your worthless wealth and in exchange
I will give you something eternal,
something of extreme value, a sheer and
limited. If you ask someone to give,
they may hesitate. But if you present it
as an opportunity to take, they'll jump
at the chance and respond generously.
