RABBI PLISKIN'S DAILY LIFT

Daily Lift #65 Help Others Help Themselves

Maimonides says that the highest level of giving charity is helping
a person become self-sufficient.

Today, think of someone who needs a job and try to do what you
can to help him earn money. You might help him get a job
interview or you might think of some marketable skill that you
could help him develop.
(See Rabbi Pliskin's Gateway to Self Knowledge, pp.147-8)
