This includes anyone who is actively involved in soliciting or enlisting others to give tzedakah, i.e. one who encourages friends or family to contribute to a cause or one who makes phone solicitations on behalf of a dinner. Chazal tell us that the reward of one who encourages others to give is greater than that of the giver. שו"ע ס' רמט ס"ה                                            One who wishes to be virtuous should contribute generously towards mitzvos from                                           the best and finest that they have. This means that when giving money, one should                                           give magnanimously. When giving items, one should give from the best items that they                                           have. For example, when donating to a clothing or food drive, one should donate high                                           quality clothing and food.                                           שו"ע ס' רמח ס"ח ou.org/women Share this message on: Facebook | Twitter You're receiving this because of your affiliation with our website.
