Me And The Ballet - The Geula Is Bi-zchus Ha-tzdaka

Regarding the previous post....

Maybe people really LOVE to give their money to good causes and the fact that in the years when I was actively fundraising I was so dreadfully unsuccessful is attributable to the fact that I am more cut out to be the head ballerina in the NYC ballet than I am to fundraise. But like I said - maybe wealthy Jews can't sleep at night because they are planning where to give every extra penny to tzedaka.

Who knows.

Whatever the case [I have my suspicions what the case is...], we should all [including yours truly] be zoche to do teshuva shleima and love Hashem EVEN with "our" money.
