HILCHOS TZEDAKAH: THOUGHT OF CONTRIBUTING CAN I STILL CHANGE MY MIND? Rabbi Nachum Scheiner

Paraso in the paras. What does it mean to be mafarish? So Tyus Naza says that when you want to be able you have to speak it out believe to be a Naz is not a thing as a if somebody makes a believe it's not a like the Torah says in the beginning of in other words you have to speak it out. Somebody wants to give a himself a it's only if he verbally says I want myself a nazer or he makes a also has he has to speak it out when it comes to somebody wants to give the says in You don't have to do a you don't have to say if believe you have a mind that you want to give truma it's enough believe it helps tell us that the can take as well also to be a not in but it's a call you want to be you don't have to say it's so we have like this very clear is If you speak it out true, what's the what's the daka? If a person has a mind that he wants to give to daka, not not that he wants to give to duck, he has a mind that he will he's giving to duck. He has a mind he wants to give to this army $100. Is it that if that he has to give it? It's not what we learned that if an comes by, you have to give him no money passed by. You had him on, you saw, you heard about a certain spoke, you heard somebody and you had him on, you want to give him money. Is that considered already a to yourself or do you have to you have to verbally say I want to give saddaka? There's no gamorra about it. No, no gamora. the the past you would say that you're not why because the Gor when the Gar speaks out and that's the when the Gar says it's these are the two places you can't learn from here to anywhere else that saddaka would also be one of the places that you can't learn from true man kachim and if somebody has in mind that he decides I want to give $100 donation to this ani the would be is is that it's not it's a it's very clearly brought in two places s by us in that we're learning now this week and Sai invit somebody has in mind that he wants to give to a person has a mind that he wants to give to he doesn't have to say it is enough fine if he didn't speak out clearly that he wants to give to the m here brings the same as inb brings buys a property to give it to a he just bought it. And when he bought it, he had in mind that he's buying it for forges the We saw before. So we have a if somebody decides in his mind that he's going to give to give. What's the hs of the shittita? The shita that holds is the gammor of an olive if is hash toad is liked by that's not the discussion we're having tonight but alapon says that we spoke in the previous year that if somebody says I'm going to bring a carbon and three pass and the says that if you maf nothing to do with person said clearly I'm going to give and it passed like what the says a different not three but army passes then so the garra says that soda is hash maybe it's only not for anything else that's the over there so the clares if the gar is sedum if soda is hash for everything then also. So that's him. It's a clare in the garra. But the garra after declare saysim what's and we know the raom says anytime we ask him like the declares the first that is so if it's for for this believe also. So the first holds that the reason why the reason why you um believe of a person in his mind he has in mind to give he's why because by like we said before but also didn't believe that's a heb number one the hold that Another another why another special I was the to this baby. So uh then another reason which the rash the rash in the beginning of tus the rash is actually speaking legab tinus and the that's amuz for itself if somebody's mus is ital it's a very big shila there's a few but in to speak about it was speaking about soda but the first pan When the when the PK says every nether is every nether not like what we said that's every nether is is every nether is included that it's and when a person has a mind that he's going to give saddaka it's a nether and she is a rash the rash The first in the that says that you could give to give when you have a mind to give sodak. Also a rash, a chu a rash. The rash says based off the garra the gum over there that says the garra says but in the second the says the reason why is not believe because the paras in the para of and as we mentioned in the previous says how do we know that if you make you said you're going to give and you don't It has to be not believe not believe. So we have over here if a person has in mind that he's going to give sodak to give saddaka By the way, it's a steerous arash. The Russian kindness says that if you give to if you have a mind saddaka, it's and the Russian chu says that sedaka is not. So the already asks the shila the bach asks in two places a rashave tinus. But once again, we're not speaking tonight about tiness. We're speaking about soda. But in Saddok itself there's also a steer rush like we just mentioned the Russian Tus says that sodaka believe is the Russian cha says that it's not. So the marik says it's fine. He doesn't he he just says for that he's a steerup what's so we have over here is if is or is not. So the very interesting the in what seems to be the says he brings the says is that it's only if you're if you're not it's not though it doesn't pass it in brings this but the brings from the not the rush if somebody's to give out money. Why? Why can't you change? So does but in both places by and says that if a person has a mind to give is is interesting to note that the between the ina when the ra says that we pass like the first and the ra inish But by says means like yeah he says but it's not we are that is considered soda. However says for however when it comes to the to be if a person was that he had in mind to give sodaka. So what comes to that should be to be that means in other words that he has to give to him what's over here says to be that have let's handle two three cases is and this is like the end of last year. It's the gay as we see says that a person has to be if he has a mind to give he's number one the speak about if somebody writes a check to aid to ani he didn't give it over yet and then he decides he doesn't want to give he wants to rip up the check so first of all the isabi writing a check if that's even more than that's a sha some say that writing a check is not a some say it is the writing z and also that even if you didn't even not writing is not a but as we saw in that is So when you wrote to check you clearly they had a mind to give to and mainly you can't rip rip up the check have a it's neg another also and this is even more common and practical sometimes times a person sees that on the other end of the besh there's somebody coming around collecting. So instead of being busy to take out the money when the person comes you take it out already right away when you see him and then came and said the guy never came around. So you have that money that dollar that you took out that's sitting under your sid on your talis thrilling bag and you took it out to give to ani never showed up. So what do you do now? You took out the money to gift it. So we believe so that money already had a mind to give to and therefore when a person takes that money because he sees an or because came is coming he should have in mind and passes one time in a lifetime is enough or you could say it that I'm taking our money because it should be convenient when the money comes. But by taking out the money, I do not have a mind to give saddaka. If the money comes and I have the opportunity to give him that dollar, that is saddaka. But if the doesn't come, I don't have a mind I my is I don't have a mind to give sodaka. And you could there's no problem. You don't have you don't have sodak. You say that your das automatically was when he comes I'm going to give it I'm prepared meaning I'm preparing it for when he comes. Never came for >> you. You're preparing him for when he comes. But the is you're saying the st of the D is is that when he comes but that if he doesn't come I never had a mind to give to >> maybe that's really maybe the question is is the question is whether it's to that or to when you take it out now it's for period. So could be that's a different sh if you have in mind a particular or other or any you're saying because >> listen if the doesn't show up you took it out for one he's not here so that's okay so mashi it's a differenti I don't know if it's set aside >> it would be set aside for sedaka because you had in mind and you took out the money to give says when you you say you could even say it one time from now on anytime I take out money And I till I give it to the anie. I don't have a mind at all to give s to daka. If the unie comes, he passes by and I hand him the dollar. That's when I have a mind to give to >> question would come up is let's say you saw a guy in front of the show and you take it out and then a different guy comes to you first and you give it to him and now you have nothing left. Do you owe the first guy that you saw? >> So but what we're saying now is you for sure don't owe the first guy because he doesn't have his own money. She didn't >> see any and put her aside in the end of >> right so even with if you don't have let's say you had a mind to give saddaka so it's a ne you want to know maybe get even a ne to give to that >> huh >> what's how v does a go if a person takes money he has a mind I want to give to >> say I mean when you say it you you can't >> right right so that's a you're pointing is like this not a case in a person has a he wants to give $100 to this and now he decides he wants to give to differenti he was in in his mind he wanted to do it for that also the first case over here happens all the time >> yeah what you take after give and then someone else comes There was a story once that took out money and he didn't get to give it to the person and afterwards he made a big to find that person to give him the money. So asked him you hold that you're not yourself you yourself said you're not m yourself told the he gets it. So said this was different. The person was blind and ma he never showed up. He came by. I just didn't I didn't get to give it to him. But that much already I had a mind to give it to him. Meaning to say is what it's true if you see him on the other side of the so that much he just took it out. But sometimes you have that you the person already comes by to your table. I have that sometimes the person comes by and I I take I want wait till he comes and he stops and he gets my attention. I already take out some sometimes take out the money if I could to give him. So already then already I'm I'm locked in believe. So the person really needs to understand that he has to say say or that he's not being himself till it actually comes if not the passes by comes by to your table and you take out the dollar and the he went to somebody else and he got with the other person and then came so here also if you had it in mind it would be >> is it this isn't that I have to give to the other >> say or give me >> if it's a [clears throat] you have to give him if let's say took out I I have $10 $1 per person say within my it's within this has to go >> no no no the thing is like this if you have in your talis bag singles that you always give foraka so it's fine if you don't give it today you give it tomorrow but let's say you take out of your pocket you take out a dollar cuz you want to give that dollar to sedaka If you had a mind when you took out the dollar that you want to give it to Saddaka. So then if the onion never ended up showing up by your table to give him the dollar, you can't put that dollar back into your pocket because you already believe in your mind you had a mind to give the dollar to so it comes out this it's a it's a it's a person has to be careful. He has in mind clearly to give as we saw that the piska brings from the dos a says like this and this is what we spoke about a little bit last week if a person just has [clears throat] that he's going to give sodaka that's not where the first holds that it's weed If a person spoke out and said I'm going to give I'm going to give however he didn't he didn't say how much and then believe he has a mind I'm going to give $100 and then later he wants to change over there is where the the holds that that's where it's the it's a It's a cool in the first this that it's only after you said you spoke out you're going to give comes later you you didn't say how much and you had over there's where it's where it's where's the it's I'm
