Prayer to Give Charity Appropriately
Rabbi Berland's Prayer to Give Charity Appropriately
TO MERIT TO FULFILL THE COMMANDMENT OF GIVING A TITHE APPROPRIATELY AND TO CIRCUMCISE MY CLOSED HEART AND TO GET OUT OF THE TRAIT OF STINGINESS
“And all that you give me I will give a tenth to you” (Vayetzei)
Master of the world, grant me the merit to fulfill the commandment: “I will give a tenth to you,”
“And anyone who gives a tenth becomes rich.”
And I should merit to increase infinitely in charity to no measure, and I should merit to circumcise my clogged heart and to get out of the trait of stinginess and to scatter charity until more than enough, as it says:
“Scattering he gave to the poor, his righteousness stands forever”.
