Rabbi B - Tzedaka

[Music] hey [Music] oh it is devorah hi there devorah [Music] wow a honey sale only 25 cents devorah are you selling some honey [Music] that's so clever you know devorah is a bee and bees make delicious honey and devorah is having a honey sale that's so special well let's see how much money you've made so far devorah i see one and two quarters you've made 50 cents amazing devorah what are you raising this money for oh that's nice devorah would like to buy a brand new bow for her hair or maybe for her antenna well that would be very pretty devorah how much does a bow cost oh a bow only costs 25 cents well guess what devorah you have two 25 cent coins so one of those coins you could buy yourself a bow but you have an extra one you have two what could devorah do with an extra 25 cents well devorah you could buy two bows or you could give the other quarter to seducka would you like to do that devorah oh wow you know sadaka is a beautiful mitzvah sadaka is the mitzvah where we help somebody else other than ourselves so giving money to somebody who's poor or giving a friend something that they don't have like a pencil or an extra marker yeah that could be an example of sadaka too but usually when we think of tzedakah we think of putting coins inside atsadaka box and then giving that money to a poor family or to a shul or a school or to anyone who could use the money and help do more mitzvahs and nice things and that's a really special mitzvah is that what you'd like to do devorah wow devorah you really do a lot of mitzvah so i'll tell you what here's your coins here's your quarter and the other extra quarter for the tadaka and your other quarter for the bow and i'm just going now to the judaica store to buy a new tsudaka box how great is that so when i get back

yourself with your hard work you could have used that money for anything in the whole world but you chose to use some of it for to duck up you were really good at doing mitzvahs well i'm going to take our tsudaka box inside and you know what devorah you reminded me of one of my favorite stories all about sadaka come join me on the big yellow comfy couch and i'll tell you a story about seducka come along [Music] wow all this talk about sadaka and how much devorah loves to give to dhaka has reminded me of one of my favorite stories it's called a lazar gives a lazar gives sadaka it's all about a man named elazar who just loves giving to dhaka let's listen to the story many years ago there lived a man named al-lazar he lived in the city of beerta he loved doing the mitzvah of tadaka any time he saw someone asking for tzedakah he would run as fast as he could to give them some money or some food he just loved doing the mitzvah one day he was heading to the market to buy some things when he saw some people asking for tzedakah he ran right over to them and gave them almost all the money he had in his pocket all he had left after doing the mitzvah was one small coin and all he could buy that day from the market was one little grain of wheat he brought his little grain of wheat home and put it in his barn where he stored his grains his daughter saw this and told her mother father has brought something from the market and he put it in the barn elazar's wife went to the barn to see what her husband had bought when she opened the door to the barn piles and piles of wheat grains poured out through the door of the barn a miracle had occurred because elazar gave his money to tadaka and was only able to buy one grain of wheat hashem rewarded him and made that grain of wheat grow into many many more and what do you think eliza did with all that extra wheat what else he gave it all to siddhaka [Music] wow what a beautiful story all about giving to dhaka and of course just like the story of elazar every time we give to dhaka it brings so much bracha from hashem and even if we only give one coin a day well those coins will eventually grow to be many and many coins just like the grain in this story oh do you hear that i think i know who's making those noises i think it's kuggle the robot let's go see what he's up to today [Music] [Applause] i just knew it was going to be coco the robot hello kuggle how are you b today how are you i'm doing great baruch hashem thank you for asking can i guess that you're here because you have the question of the day affirmative rabbi b all right i'll push the button and let's hear today's question hi everybody my name is irani and i have a question what's the best way for me to give to dhaka wow of rummy that's a really great question what's the best way to give tzedakah well the best way for you to give tzedakah is to have a tzedakah box in your home and even better to have one in your room and have a bowl of coins and every day take one coin from the bowl and put it in the tadaka box and when that sadaka box gets full you can bring it to a teacher a rabbi a rabbit sin or your parent and they can bring it to a shul or school to help the community and help give it to tzedakah excellent question but rabbi b one coin is not a lot of money oh that's true google one coin does not sound like very much but you know what the next day you give another coin how many coins do you have then in the stucco box two that's right and the next day you'll have three and then four and before you know it you'll have lots and lots of coins inside that tzedakah box actually okay google can you load up a picture of the penny growth chart you got it rabbi well if you look here you see that if you give one penny you'll have one penny but if you give two the next day and then if you double that again and again and again and again for a whole month well that could add up to millions and millions of dollars now of course we don't have that many pennies but this was just to show you how fast your pennies and your coins can grow in a tadaka box so keep on giving sadaka every single day except for shabbat and yamtiv of course rabbi b i don't have my own siddhaka box oh well there's an easy way to fix that you could make your own how about this kuggle i just bought a brand new tadaka box for devorah and me but how about i make a special tadaka box just for you that would be great excellent okay coogle you wait right here and i'll see you in the art room and i'll show you how you could make your very own tzedakah box i'll see you soon you know it's a really great idea to have your own sadaka box and you could keep it in your room and give to dhaka every single day well you don't need to go and buy one you could just make one yourself here's one i made out of an old play-doh container it has a lid that comes off and i cut a little square hole into the top and that could be used as a tadaka box and i did the same thing with this can of tea i cut a hole in the top and that's also another fun way to give some tsudaka but for today i think i will use this kind of box for a tadaka box this is a cereal box siddhaka box and all you need are a couple of things first of all you're gonna need a cereal box i find the smaller boxes work best and of course we're gonna need a pair of scissors [Music] some glue and some colorful markers and a blank piece of paper now i've already cut this paper to the right height of the cereal box and you could get a grown-up to help you now what i'm going to do is i'm going to wrap this piece of paper around the cereal box to make it white and then i'm gonna be able to decorate it to make it any kind that i like okay the first thing we're gonna do is take our cereal box and we're gonna cut off the long sides of the box top just the long sides of the top and get rid of those because we're not going to need them all right okay next we're going to take a smaller rectangle that fits right on the top of the box there but before we glue it on we have to make a hole so we're going to fold it in half and we're going to cut a rectangle shape right into the top of the box just like that and then when we open it up we have kind of a tadaka box top so now we're going to put some glue right onto the top of those other flaps of the top of the cereal box and just glue on that piece right on the top there we go and that will be the top of our tsutaco box perfect next thing we want to do is we want to glue the paper onto our cereal box that way we can decorate it any way we like so we're going to put some glue over the whole paper all the sides and the corners in the middle that way it's going to be nice and glued then we're gonna flatten that paper glue side up put our cereal box right on top right in the middle and then just fold up one side of the paper and then fold up the other side of the paper and there we go our tadaka box is already covered with some glued paper all right the next thing we want to do is decorate our tadaka box i think i'll first start by writing the word sadaka that's sadiq [Music] and hey seducka and of course you can fill in those letters and of course get a grown up to help you write those letters unless you want to try yourself it's always good to try things yourself here we go and because it's for coogle i think i'll make it very pretty i'll make some stripes going like this just some black stripes and of course you could decorate your tadaka box any way you like you could color any colors that you like and maybe because google is friends with devorah i'll make yellow stripes some yellow and black stripes kind of like devora's colors all right put our markers back and cover our glue so it doesn't dry up and there we go your very own cereal box to duck a box i think i'll give this one to kogo the robot so he can give tzedakah too but of course when we're done our craft we put away all our things so we'll know where to find them next time i'll see you soon [Music] hey coogle i made you something your very own tsunaka box here you go thank you rabbi you're welcome and now you can give to dukkha every day too what a mitzvah wow rabbi b yes google do you have a coin that you could spare i sure do here you go thank you rabbi what are you gonna do with that coin are you gonna buy some extra oil for your gears negative i am going to give the duck mitzvah let's sing together hooray great job google oh i hear an alarm google let me turn that alarm off [Music] google does that mean it's time to say shalom yes it does rabbi oh well i hope you had fun learning about the mitzvah of tsudaka and visiting a judaica store keep on giving tadaka keep on doing all those mitzvahs until next time but for now it's bye bye from google the robot bye bye devorah the bee and me rabbi b shalom [Music] i don't know what package to take maybe a new car or maybe a watch or maybe a new shadow for you [Music] why don't we just give to dhaka just for the mitzvah that's a great idea iris [Music] rabbi b loves hearing from fans please send any fan mail drawings or questions to rabib
