This week's value is themed around the State of Israel:
Helping others become self-sufficient and independent
“The highest degree of charity, exceeded by none, is that of the person who assists the poor by…putting him in a position where he can do without other people’s help.” --Maimonides, Laws Concerning Gifts to the Poor, 10:7
How does this relate? How can you live out this value? Do you do anything at the moment which would qualify? If so, what? If not, why not? What can you do and make a change in someone else's life?
(Of course, we could all give a fish, but let us the time to teach.)
