The Hebrew word for giving, natan (נתנ), is a palindrome, which reveals a deep truth about the reciprocal dynamic of giving: When one gives, they also receive in return.
In a recent study, researchers discovered that those who spent more of their income on others rather than themselves enjoyed significantly greater and longer lasting happiness. In fact, as little as a five-dollar gift was enough to produce measurable increases in one’s happiness. Overall, the self-reported happiness of those who regularly give charity is forty-three percent higher than those who don’t.
In other words, human beings are hardwired to give.

There is a flood of news coverage of the war in Gaza and Israel, but one thing you probably haven't heard is that farmers in much of Israel were evacuated from their farms to escape the ongoing rocket barrage of Israeli civilian areas. Israeli farms will not get through this crisis without help. Donate to save a farm. https://saveafarmfund.org #Israel#IsraelUnderAttack#SaveAFarm#Farms#Farm#Tzedakah#Mazeldon@mazeldon
