When somebody is giving money for Tzedakah, the giver is sowing pleasant fruits for the World to Come and promoting a healthier living in this world.
*Tzedakah = giving money for good causes.
By Yehuda Ribco
Life through the middle way, that of balance.
Giving to the neighbour with generosity and kindness is good, as long as it does not cause harm to the giver.
Anyone who is deprived of what he/she needs to live in order to benefit another, is not loving him/herself or loving, but is only acting with reckless blindness.
The person feeling empty inside is afraid of simple things. He/she is fraught with complications and complexities in order to conceal his/her internal emptiness.
By Yehuda Ribco
I prefer a simple person who is responsible, rather than an educated one that runs away from reality.
An authoritarian person pressures, threatens, makes feel self-conscious, dennounces,frightens and he/she is hated.
He/she who has the authority to make feel confident the people under his/her guidance, encourages them to grow, judges with kindness and is humble.
By Yehuda Ribco
When your child doesn’t heed you, why do you get angry and you shout at him/her?
Why do you sorrow that he/she is wrong? Or why do you realize you have no true authority over him/her?
If you grieve for him him/her, why do you shout at him/her, why do you get angry?
Will you get more attention this way?
Will he/she you understand crying out that you love him/her?
And if you’re upset because you have no authority, when you get angry and shouting, the only thing you show is you don’t truly love him/her and you don’t have the gift of authority.
By Yehuda Ribco
Correct your child with love.
May your reprimands be only motivated by the desire to assist his/her in growing in a greater harmony.
By Yehuda Ribco
The Eternal asks you faithfulness, respect and love.
These are manifested through only one way: observing the commandments He has given you the best you can.

Take care of vowing, lest you stain your reputation and harm your neighbor.
