The value of Tzedakah

Hi,

"Rabbi Elazar said: It is greater to give tzedakah [financial charity] than to bring every korban [Temple offering], as it is written [Proverbs 21], 'One who performs tzedakah and justice is more choice, for Gd, than a korban.'"

(Talmud, Succah 49b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
