Why tzedakah should not be mistaken for charity.

Tzedakah, for many, has become another word for charity. Charity is about giving out of the kindness in your heart, generally when it is convenient. Tzedakah is not. It is about giving, consistently to those in need what is theirs, because it is an obligation on your part as a fellow member of humanity. Simply put: tzedakah should not be mistaken for charity because sooner or later if we only rely on good times and convenience to help those in need, it simply won’t be enough.
