If you give at least 10%
on a regular basis,
Hashem promises you
protection,
endless blessings,
and the gi
says that if you give 10%, Hashem
promises you that you're never going to
lose your money.
He didn't say this that uh you won't uh
go have ups and downs, but he said you
you're going to have protection
just like this group of rich people that
came to Rav Steinman after the collapse
of the market.
He said, "Listen, Rabbi, we gave a lot
of donations, but uh we we all lost
money." And Steinman says to them, "How
many of you gave mas? We gave we gave
millions but how many give mas how many
you gave 10% exactly oh no 10% no goes
exactly you didn't have the protection
you may have given a lot as far as
quantity but as far as relative to you
it wasn't 10% therefore you didn't have
the you didn't have the protection and
then one of the rich people raises his
hand and says rabbi I gave 10% and my
friends don't know but I'll do it for
the honor of the Torah I'm actually I I
didn't lose any money so exactly what
the rabbi is saying in the name of the
Torah is exactly what happened to me I'm
the only one here in this group that
gave m and I'm the only one that didn't
lose money and the gi says that someone
that gives which is 20%.
Is guaranteed to have wealth in this
life
but the satan is going to do whatever he
can to convince you that you shouldn't
donate that much. It's too much. only
donate from your smaller job. Only
donate from the small investment. Only
donate, you know, it's enough. It's
enough. You don't have to do the big
things.
But as the Torah says here, God is not a
man that he should be deceitful, nor is
he a son of man that he should relent.
If he said you're going to get rewarded,
that means you'll get rewarded. But if
you don't believe that, then guess what?
