hebrew meaning of charity
Tzedakah or á¹£'daqah in Classical Hebrew (Hebrew: ×¦××§×â; Arabic: ØµØ¯ÙØ©ââ), is a Hebrew word literally meaning justice or righteousness but commonly used to signify charity, though it is a different concept from charity because tzedakah is an obligation and charity is typically understood as a spontaneous act of goodwill and a marker of generosity.
