BRIEF INSIGHT
TEACHING TORAH
Rav Huna and Rav Chisda say that one who teaches Torah loses nothing, and yet his Tzedakah is everlasting. The Maharsha says that teaching Torah is analogous to giving Tzedakah; just as one who gives Tzedakah loses nothing as a result, and, moreover, his wealth will increase as a consequence of giving Tzedakah, one who teaches Torah will not lose Torah knowledge, but instead his Torah knowledge will increase, as our Sages teach that a Rebbi learns more from his students than he does from his teachers.
QUICK HALACHAH
THE MITZVAH OF TZEDAKAH
A person should give Tzedakah in accordance with the needs of the poor, if he can afford to do is. If he cannot afford to provide all of the needs of the poor, it is a Mitzvah Min ha'Muvchar to give a fifth of one's income to Tzedakah. To give one tenth is average, and one who gives less than one tenth has a stingy eye. A person should give one fifth of the principal for Tzedakah and subsequently he should separate annually one fifth of the profit that he made from that money. A person should not give more than a fifth so that he not become needy himself. However, when a person is about to die, he may give as much Tzedakah as he wants. (Shulchan Aruch YD 249:1)
