HAHAHA!!!
Leave it to me to mix that quote up good!! Ah gotta love us nice Jewish old ladies!!! I thought I would copy what the great teacher/philosopher Maimonides said of the levels of tzedakah (giving). Number one is the highest level. 1. Giving an interest-free loan to a person in need; forming a partnership with a person in need; giving a grant to a person in need; finding a job for a person in need; so long as that loan, grant, partnership, or job results in the person no longer living by relying upon others. 2. Giving tzedakah anonymously to an unknown recipient via a person (or public fund) which is trustworthy, wise, and can perform acts of tzedakah with your money in a most impeccable fashion. 3. Giving tzedakah anonymously to a known recipient. 4. Giving tzedakah publicly to an unknown recipient. 5. Giving tzedakah before being asked. 6. Giving adequately after being asked. 7. Giving willingly, but inadequately. 8. Giving "in sadness" (giving out of pity): It is thought that Maimonides was referring to giving because of the sad feelings one might have in seeing people in need (as opposed to giving because it is a religious obligation). Other translations say "Giving unwillingly." The dog donations were on the second highest level. |

My first thought was Gestalt (A type of psychology) - The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts and my Mom always said "Always be nice".

Yes, Maimy for short. Maimonides was one of the leading scholars of Jewish law. My ancestry is from the same region, the Iberian Penninsula. Maybe we share genetics. Now that would be an awesome thing, me related to a guy like him.

Aarcyn, what you did, getting neighborhoods involved and children making posters, collecting so much, and delivering all of it was amazing to me.
Mazel tov!
