Tzedakah: A system of responsibility

What if tzedakah isn’t about charity, but about survival? In this episode, host Shai Davidai explores how Judaism transformed giving from an optional act of generosity into a structured system of responsibility, mutual aid, and communal resilience. From ancient Jewish welfare networks to the global response after the October 7 Massacre, this is a story about agency, obligation, and how a people turns helplessness into action.
