Embracing the Gifts of Giving and the Joy of Charity

If you're like most people, your WhatsApp inbox is probably filled with a friend who's pinned to the top, maybe some emojis after his name, a family chat, group chat that has uncles and aunts sending an inordinate amount of pictures of their very cute children, and probably another group chat that you wish you could exit, but you can't for fear of hurting someone's feelings. But, above all else, your WhatsApp is probably like everyone else's that it is mostly dominated by friends and family that are sending you their link to donate to their Chesed Fund, their all new charity campaign, their new matching campaign, their new bike for whatever it is to wherever they are matching campaign, just donate on my page and it can feel like wow, I get a lot of these a day. Do I do with them? Maybe we're even annoyed by them at times. God forbid. Want you to remember that perhaps the greatest man-made structure, one of the most holy initiatives ever brought to fruition, all began with a fundraiser Veikulitruma, let's all donate money, donate to my link, a big charity drive so that we can all donate and then build the Mishkan for Hashem. And when the Tyre describes this fundraiser, it says veikulit, take for me. Now you're donating, you're not taking. But surely the answer is already leaping to your mind that you could try to take all that you want in life and add more of your own personal desires onto your plate. But you might still feel empty. But be like a mother who literally gives all of her time, money and energy to a child and then ask the mother say, after you've given so much, it's possible that you love this person? And they'll laugh at you because of course the mothers know the secret, or maybe they learn the peace from Revdeslar that the more that you give is the more that you get, the more generosity that you show, the far greater of a lekecha, of a taking that you will do. So veikulitruma take for me for God, take. How do you take? By donating to a godly cause. How do you take for yourself and feel fulfilled? You give. So even the most homeoretical explanation of veikulitruma reads right into the basic reading take for yourself, how do you take? By donating to godly causes and giving to others.
