AFFIRMATIVE ANSWERS

[11a top] Braisa: Binyamin the Righteous was a supervisor of the charity fund. Although there was nothing left in the charity fund, he assisted an extremely poor woman and her children from his own personal funds. Since he acted with charitable kindness, when Binyamin became deathly ill, his decree was torn up and twenty-two years were added to his life.

D-E-ep Thoughts: Every moment in our lives is another opportunity to grow. Hashem continuously blesses us with chances to become greater individuals (if only we could realize the potentials). We gain so much more for ourselves even though we may be doing kindness for others. We grow by passing tests and defeating challenges while also being blessed with rewards in this world and the next.

Today’s P.I.P. (Put Into Practice) TIP: Instead of saying “no,” remember Who is sending us this particular message and think of a way we can help by saying “yes.”
