Mishpatim 

Description

Two meshulachim knocking on my door this week got me thinking about the way we do - and don't give tzedakah. We carefully examine the language the Torah uses to describe how God expects us to relate to the weakest members of society. We examine some rather frightening Midrashim, and conclude with a beautiful message from Kli Yakkar about the appropriate attitude towards giving tzedaka.
