“If you teach your kids about Tzedakah before they have their own money or allowance, they will grow up thinking the Mitzvah is to ask your parents for money to give to a cause.”
I never thought about that. This is such a revelation. I did/do think it’s a mitzvah to ask my parents for money to give it to a cause.
Is it a mitzvah? If they give to me because I am in need, then technically I am not supposed to take charity to give charity. Though I do sometimes ask my parents specifically for money to give to tzedakah.
Is that permissible if they already are stretching beyond their limits? Goodness, writing this out really makes me think about it in a different way. Thank you
