Zedaka | June 08, 2004

Zedaka means Leniency or charity in Hebrew. A Zaddik is a just and fair man, Zaddak means justice. Justice doesn’t mean a perfect application of the norm but an application of the norms valid for a community in a manner that is suitable and in solidarity to its members. It therefore also includes consideration of the weak and poor. In Judaism. Zedeka is a high virtue as expressed in Psalms 41,2 “Blessed is he who considers the poor”.
