We usually think of tzedakah as charity, but it actually means the obligation or the responsibility to give. The root of the word tzedakah is tzedek which means justice. This is different from charity which is voluntary. But tzedakah is a commandment and a mitzvah in Judaism.

Responsibility

Helping a person with your time is the greatest way of giving, more than money or material objects

It is a Jewish holiday that celebrates trees, nature, and the environment. The birthday of the trees! It brings us back to our roots, literally! In Israel most people celebrate by planting trees around the country. It is also traditional for people to have a T.B. seder where you eat dried fruits, nuts, and other things

Inner strength, persistence, resilience, patience, selflessness, and confidence

When something is produced fair trade, it means that all the people involved in producing the item (at every level of the chain) are treated fairly. Lets show them gratitude!

Learning from our mistakes and apologizing for what we have done wrong. When we miss the mark or go off path, we must return/recalculate.

Gratitude

Shalom also means "wholeness". When someone is sick, we can help them become more “whole” by visiting them, caring for them, and praying for them.

Yom Hashoah is Holocaust Remembrance Day. We honor it to remember the tragedy that happened to make sure that it does not happen again, and to keep the memories and stories alive of those we lost.
