Obligations
of Charity

.

From the Shulkan Arukh of
Rabbi Joseph Karo (1488-1575)
Everyone is obliged to contri-
bute to charity. Even a poor man
who is himself maintained by
charity should give a portion of
what he receives. If one gave
less than his due, the court used
to bring pressure to bear and pun-
ish him for contempt of court
until he gave the amount as-
sessed; and if he persisted in his
refusal, they would seize his goods
to the amount (in his presence).
A man who gives more than his
share to charity, or who straitens
himself to pay the collector in ,
order •not to be embarrassed,
from such a man it is forbidden
to demand or claim his dues; and
the Gabbai who humiliates him by
asking for it will be called to ac-
count in the future by the Holy
One, blessed be He.
He who wishes to (be deserving
of divine reward shall conquer
his evil inclinations and open
wide his hand, and everything
(done or given) in the name of
Heaven shall be of the best and
the finest. If he build a house
of worship, let it be more beauti-
ful than his dwelling; if he feed
a hungry one, let him give him
to eat of the best and the sweet-
est on his table; if he clothe one
naked, let him clothe him with
one of his finest garments; if he
consecrate anything, let him con-
secrate from the best of his prop-
erty; and so, too, the Bible says:
"All the fat is the Lord's" (Lev.
3:16.—Article 248:1, 7, 8.)

on its belt more tightly than ever,
and work together in all sectors—
public and private—toward the
stabilization of the country's econ-
omy, increasing productivity so
that exports may rise, and thus
giving employment to more work-
ers.
The principal aims of the State
of Israel, he stated, in a radio
broadcast, are the same as they
have been since the rebirth of
Israel: "Peace with our neighbors;
the fusion of the various communi-
ties in our land into one nation;
moving our economy forward
toward
self-sufficiency."
T h e
Prime Minister then turned his
message to s the nation into a som-
ber lecture on the state of the
economy, its shortcomings and its
near future.
He said that, despite the nation's
affluence and well-being, and de-
spite the fact that exports have
risen by scores of millions of dol-
lars, yearly, the economy has been
unable to provide enough produc-
tive employment. Productivity,
he stated, has been low; manage-
ment has been bad; organizational
methods have been backward;
high spending has been indulged
in only to create impressions;

No Mapai Candles Seen
for B-G's Birthday Cake

TEL AVIV (ZINS) — The corn-
mittee planning the celebration
for David Ben-Gurion's 80th birth-
day is composed of members of
widely diverging views — but not
of Mapai.
Shimon Peres, former deputy
defense Minister, who publicized
Mapai's boycott, revealed another
fact: Mapai was the only party to
oppose seating Ben-Gurion on the
podium during the dedication of
the Knesset building. Ben-Gurion
did not participate.
