"Tzedaka" is a Hebrew word that generally is translated as "charity", but a deeper look at both words reveals fundamental differences between the Jewish concept of "tzedaka" and the concept of "charity".
This class was given at the Sinai Scholars Academic Symposium 2009. The Sinai Scholars Symposium is a yearly conference for university students, hosted by the Sinai Scholars Society. Students from around the world gather with an esteemed panel of Ivy League professors, world-class Torah scholars and experts in their field to study, discuss and present their thoughts on various subjects that deal with Judaism and the modern world. Each student prepares an academic paper which they present to their colleagues and a panel of judges. For more information and to register, check out: www.sinaischolars.com/symposium.
